Meet Apollo

Meet Apollo, an 11-year-old neutered male Queensland Heeler mix who clearlyforgot to read the part of the calendar that says he`s supposed to be asenior. This spry guy acts more like he`s half his age-and he`s ready toprove it! Apollo is a great smaller size and a pretty easygoing walking buddy. He`sgood on leash and knows his sit and shake. He`s also a gentleman when itcomes to treats, taking them gently like the classy guy he is. Like a youngster, he enjoys a good game of fetch-and if you stopthrowing the ball before he`s ready, he may bark to remind you that yourservices are still required. And if Apollo discovers a particularly interesting smell? Expect a full-bodyroll in it. Apparently, some fragrances are best experienced from theground. With his youthful energy, playful personality, smaller size, and goodmanners, Apollo is proof that age is just a number-and he has absolutely nointention of acting his age!
