Apollo is a pretty chill dude. He is 7 years old, so he’s kind of in his retirement years. As a young dog, he has many acres to patrol. Now he has 0.5 acres and a fence. His parents told him they’re moving to a small condo in Florida with no fence and lots of kids. That thought makes his nervous. He likes the kids that were born after he arrived to his family, but other kids make him nervous. He hopes that someone will have more yard for him so he doesn’t have to be on a leash at all times. He promises to keep your yard safe from birds, squirrels and leaves. Just don’t feed him at the same time any other dog friends are being fed, and he should be good!
