12/20/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Joining us with his sister Athena A1081682, Apollo was surrendered to our care due to cost. He’s lost a lot of weight since his first stay with us, as has Athena, so both dogs will benefit from some high calorie nutritious food. Excited to be out for a walk, Apollo goes potty right away confirming his former owner’s info that he’s housetrained. In addition to his canine sister Athena, Apollo also lived with a 3 year old human sibling. Apollo has nice leash manners, is lively and friendly, loved playing with toys tossing them around, amusing himself and then playing tug with me. Shhhhh, I let him win but let’s keep that our secret. Apollo sneaks a sniff into my treat bag, and then sits and waits doing a quick little jump after for his treat which he takes gently. We’re told he’s friendly with other dogs he meets, doesn’t guard his things, is well behaved when left home alone, and has good energy. Lively and tail wagging, Apollo’s sparkling eyes tell of good times ahead. Let’s get him home to play, love, and enjoy some fine nutritious dining. He’s going to make someone a very lucky adopter. Shouldn’t it be you?
