About dogs named Apollo

The following are 30 profiles of dogs named Apollo from our database of 872 dogs with the name Apollo.

• “Apollo is a 7 years old boxer mix and struggles with spondylosis and arthritis. I would like to try hydrotherapy for him“

  — Stephanie T.

• “I am a 1-year-old Belgian Malinois who is the definition of loyalty with a side of goofiness. To my people, I’m all heart — affectionate, playful, and endlessly devoted. But to strangers… let’s just say I take my job as “house security” very seriously. 💪 My energy knows no limits — if there’s a ball, I’m chasing it (and probably asking for another round before you’ve caught your breath). I’m sharp, protective, and always ready for action, but when it’s family time, I transform into the sweetest, most lovable cuddle buddy. ❤️ Likes: Fetch (forever), working hard, guarding my humans, and being the best boy. Dislikes: Strangers, naps, and when fetch is supposedly over.“

  — Aleena O.

• “Hi all! I'm a young golden retriever who loves everything and everyone! I can't wait to play!“

  — Julia T.

• “Hiiii I’m Apollo. I’m a 8yr old half lab/pit mix. Goofy personality with short burst on energy. Has the basic level of training. Very sweet but a little impulsive when excited.“

  — Capri S.

• “Hi, I’m Apollo! I’m a big, goofy guy who loves to run, wrestle, and play with other dogs of all sizes and I especially love to wrestle with dogs my size. Chasing balls is one of my favorite games… bringing them back is optional. I’m happiest when I can explore off leash and follow my nose wherever it leads. I’ve had lots of socialization through daycare, training, the dog park, and neighborhood adventures, but I’m still a dog who appreciates a little personal space for me and my mum. I do best with slow introductions and like getting to know new people and dogs at my own pace. Once you’re part of my circle, I’m a loyal friend. After I’ve zoomed, wrestled, and sniffed to my heart’s content, you’ll usually find me curled up beside my mum for a cuddle and a well-earned nap.“

  — Allie P.

• “Hi I’m Apollo! I am a crazy cattle dog mix that loves to run, play and chase! I am good at chewing toys and digging. I will do ANYTHING for a treat!“

  — Chanel F.

• “My name is Apollo and I love long walks and exploring and chasing squirrels. Sometimes I get anxious around small children“

  — Sam B.

• “He really loves playing with other dogs. Best playmates are other large dogs with similar energy.“

  — Tara P.

• “Hi, I’m Apollo 🐾 I’m a gentle giant and pretty much an old soul. My brother Kobi is definitely the energetic one, while I’m more of a laid-back, go-with-the-flow kind of guy. I’m super friendly and love saying hi to everyone, whether you’re a cat, dog, or human. Mostly, I just want to introduce myself, see if you happen to have a snack for me, and then wander around sniffing everything. I do love to play and will occasionally get the zoomies or chase a ball for a bit, but most of the time I’m just happy to be included. I like being part of the group, hanging out, and seeing what everyone’s up to. A lot of the time, I’m not entirely sure what’s going on… but I am sure I’m having a great time, especially if I’m with good company. I’m just a big, fluffy, lovable guy here for good vibes, good company, and maybe a treat or two.“

  — Stef G.

• “I looove to annoy my big sister. Whatever she has, I want it. That includes toys, attention, sleeping spots, anything! I like to chase squirrels, bootie bump my mom n dad when I’m sitting next to them, meeting new people, and getting pets. I love all the attentions!“

  — Elizabeth M.

• “Hi! My name is Apollo 🐾 I’m a professional snack inspector, certified nap expert, and full-time best friend. I take my job of following my human everywhere very seriously. I may be a little spoiled, but that’s only because I deserve it.“

  — Nate B.

• “I love to play fetch and hang out with my mom! I’m scared of other dogs so I prefer to stay away from them.“

  — Brooke R.

• “Apollo is a 6-year-old Labrador retriever, we lost his older sister in March, and he has been a little depressed so we are looking for a play mate! He still thinks he's two—he LOVES fetch, but doesn't like playing it with other dogs (not reactive, he will just completely ignore other dogs if there's a ball). As long as it's not a ball he's great at sharing other toys! If fetch isn't on the table he loves to run, be chased, wrestle, swim, hike, and play—but he also knows when it's time to settle down and get a drink of water. He is very obedient and intelligent. He can open and close doors, can recognize people by name, and knows his toys by name (mostly). He's a big people pleaser and cuddler. He has done great around younger, puppies who are still learning their manners and older dogs. He is also great around other animals, he has been around chickens, reptiles, cats, horses, cows, etc. and typically steers away from them or ignores them entirely. Apollo is a very versatile dog who would love to meet your pup!“

  — Morgan B.

• “All I've been told is that I'm a sweetheart with an old man face. I'm two years old. I love to run, spin, and jump. I can be talkative, but I'm friendly.“

  — Tiffany D.

• “Apollo is a little shy and defensive at first with new people but very shortly he’ll lighten up and will ask for scratches non stop! Apollo loves having a big open space to run and loves to meet new dogs.“

  — Mia P.
