Say hello to Apollo, our lovely gentle giant! Apollo is a very large brindle mastiff who unfortunately came in as a stray. We are unsure of his past, but it is clear to see that he has been in a home before as he has very good manners and is a real gentleman.
He is around 5 and a half years old, but that doesn’t stop him zooming around our paddocks and garden with a tennis ball like a big puppy. He has bonded very well with certain members of the team and loves to sit by your feet and have a back stroke. He has a very lovable big squishy face that is impossible to resist! He is a little wary to start with around new people, but it does not take him long to warm up to you- as long as you have some sausage or peanut butter!
He is finding the kennel environment quite overwhelming at the moment, and we are looking to get him as soon as we can into a loving home, that he will clearly thrive in. We will be looking for a big breed experienced home for him, with no small furry animals and older children around 16+, as long as they are used to bigger breeds. We are still under going dog assessments with Apollo at the moment, but so far they have been positive with smaller and medium sized dogs. Having said this, we would ideally like him to be the only dog, so he can soak up all the attention for himself!
This big lad has a lot of love to give and is fast becoming a firm favourite of the kennel staff that work closely with him. Do you have an Apollo sized space in your home that you could offer him, for his happily ever after home?
