In need of a home for our almost 2yr old male American Pitbull Terrier, Apollo. He is loving, playful, and loyal. He’s up to date on all vaccines and comes with lifetime training access in MD. Unfortunately, we’re moving overseas for work and, with our busy schedules, we haven’t been able to give him the time and care he deserves. He has a medical condition (seizures) and requires daily medication for life. He’s not neutered; we’re looking for a responsible, stable home willing to continue his care. He’s a sweet dog with so much love to give, and he deserves a family who can give him the consistent love, attention, and support he needs.
