Meet Apollo, a handsome 60-pound Black Mouth Cur with a loyal heart. Apollo is beginning to lose his vision, but he navigates his world with courage and still enjoys companionship and affection. He’s crate-trained, though he occasionally has accidents.
Apollo would do best in a calm, structured home without small children or multiple pets. He currently lives peacefully with a smaller dog who takes the lead, and he respects her space. Out of an abundance of caution, we recommend a home without young children since he has not been around them.
Apollo thrives when he gets regular outdoor breaks, gentle guidance, and lots of love. He’s looking for a patient adopter who can provide him with comfort, consistency, and the safe forever home he deserve

Schedule, No Time
Details about rehoming reason (if needed):
I was very ill for several years and home 24/7, so Apollo always had someone with him. Once my health improved, I was excited to resume a normal life outside the home. Around the same time, our youngest graduated high school and went away to college. Overnight, the two people who spent the most time caring for Apollo were suddenly gone from the house each day. Apollo requires supervision when he goes outside, and with no one consistently home, he doesn’t get the time and attention he truly needs and deserves.
