Last week we sponsored a German shepherd named Apollo — he’s available through White Rock Dog Rescue.
The backstory: Apollo was taken in by a woman who found him running loose in her neighborhood. The woman couldn’t find the owner and couldn’t keep him because she travels for a living. So she paid to have him vaccinated/chipped and referred him to the dog rescue.
The details: Apollo is about 2 years old and knows basic commands. He also walks well on a gentle-leader harness. He is house trained, but not fully crate trained. Apollo also gets along well with other dogs, but needs to be monitored if there are treats/toys around.
Other considerations: Apollo can jump more than 6-feet, so homeowners should have high fences. German shepherds are also often on restricted-breed lists — renters should double-check their leases before adopting.
To meet Apollo: Check out the White Rock Dog Rescue’s Facebook page to schedule a meeting or find out about their weekly meet-and-greet events around Dallas.
White Rock Rescue is also looking for donations, volunteers, and foster families if you’re unable to adopt.
