About this Dog
Apollo Creed isn’t just another cute puppy — he’s a one-in-a-million kind of companion. With a little gallop-walk that will absolutely melt your heart, Apollo turns every stroll into a joyful parade. He’s the best walking partner you could ask for: relaxed, attentive, and non-reactive to dogs, cats, or people. He’s especially fascinated by birds — watching them with gentle curiosity — but always stays respectful and well-behaved. Apollo spent his first 11 weeks navigating the world on his own, but you’d never know it by the way he loves. He’s blossomed in foster care into a playful, affectionate, and incredibly loyal pup. He’s crate-trained, car-ready, toy-obsessed, and happiest when he's near his people. Whether you're curled up on the couch or exploring the neighborhood, Apollo is all in — tail curled like a little paintbrush dip, heart open wide. This pup is truly the full package: friendly, adaptable, and ready to shape himself into whatever you need most — a couch snuggler, an adventure buddy, or a little bit of both. He’s got a sparkle in his eyes and a gentle soul that’s just waiting to belong. Apollo’s ready for a forever family who will love him just as much as he’ll love them. Could that be you? Apollo Creed is from Texas. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. *Rescue puppies are notorious for losing their birth certificates before entering our rescue. We cannot guarantee the breed or size they will be full grown.* If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.

Adopt Apollo Creed and Receive Apollo Creed's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Apollo Creed's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Apollo Creed's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Apollo Creed, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Apollo Creed's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Apollo Creed was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Apollo Creed’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Apollo Creed’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Apollo Creed’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
