Update: Apollo (Rocco in his former home) was adopted from the shelter. He's a handsome boy whose coat still shines in the sun. He spent some time exploring the interaction pen, playing at the fence with his neighbor Luna, and then was ready to spend time with me. He gave me lots of good sits for treats, so we also spent time on lying down for them. Apollo's former owner said he lived as an indoor dog and is house trained, crate trained, and is good with cats and kids (the children in the home were 13 to 17 years old). He's also fine with other dogs but needs a proper introduction and time to warm up to them. Apollo is a good boy, and I hope he finds a new home soon.

Apollo is a handsome, medium-sized boy. His brindle coat shines in the sun. He was a little shy a first, but it wasn't long before Apollo was coming to me and sitting for treats. When I sat on the bench, he surprised me by lying on my lap. He's partial to neck scratches and back rubs. He's a sweet, gentle boy who wants to be loved.
