Apollo

***REQUIRES A FENCED IN YARD*** Apollo is a 9 year old male Great Dane with a strikingly beautiful harlequin coat. Apollo is a…. People lover… People hugger…. People leaner…. People pleaser…. To summarize, Apollo's joy revolves around his people….and meeting new people too! If you are full grown with hands, a lap to sit on, or legs to lean on then Apollo will love you too! Apollo enjoys piles of pillows, couches of comfort, beds with best friends, rolling in the grass, and basking in the sunshine of your love - the real sun too! Apollo firmly believes people food snacks are the BEST, cats are strange but they make good sleeping partners, quiet spots are the nicest, and bathrooms are the absolute BEST place for hugs! Apollo deals with a bit of anxiety but is not destructive. Taking Prozac twice daily and having a quiet, safe spot so he can self-soothe when he needs to greatly benefits him. Loud parties or extra lively humans can be unsettling for Apollo though, so we will not be adopting him to anyone with young kids under 12. No exceptions. Apollo prefers his home environment - although he loves to get his leash on and go for walks, he is always ready to get home and burrow in the pillows for a nice snooze. Apollo is in a foster home with a single lady, her brother, 3 cats, a very chill dane sister (Penny) and the love of his life, a young rambunctious Dane girl Kealey. Apollo requires methodical muzzled introductions with fellow canines - he has fear-based reactivity. Once he accepts and knows the dog isn't a threat then all is A-ok. Apollo would do best in a household as the only dog OR as evidenced with Penny and Kealey he will do well with another low-no dominant behavior dog. Apollo loves to play! He and Kealey play often as she is quite the instigator. He plays hard, is extremely vocal and his dominant behaviors come on VERY strong, intimidating most dogs potentially causing a reaction in a less than rock solid dog. Apollo needs to know his human is in control and he can trust the other dog. Apollo is NOT, and never will be, a dog park dog. He will need a strong leader to show him everything is ok. He looks to his people for reassurance and feeds off of their emotions. He is such a sensitive soul ? Apollo is really looking for someone who will allow him to live out his remaining years in peace and quiet without a lot of hustle and bustle traffic and/or competition for attention and love - he's such a loving, loyal companion he deserves that. Could you the one? He is neutered, fully vaccinated and microchipped. Apollo is on 1x daily carprofen and 1x daily gabapentin for suspected age related arthritis. Apollo’s adoption fee is $300.00.
