Apollo

Description

Successfully rehomed by Battersea Dog Home

Apollo is a friendly boy who is finding this environment quite stressful and over whelming. Once he gets to know you he soon settles and enjoys a gentle cuddle and a fuss.

Apollo currently knows a SIT and works well for treats. He enjoys his food and this will be a great training tool to further his training. He needs some encouragement to play with toys but does enjoy playing with a tennis ball.

Apollo enjoys being brushed and will need regular grooming. He can be silly with formal handling and vet checks and so will need confident owners who will teach him positive association's with handling.

Apollo is a giant breed who will need experienced owners who understand the requirements of owning a breed his size. He will take time to adjust into his new home but with patient and understanding owners he should thrive and make a fun and rewarding addition.
