About this Dog
Looking for a vigilant guardian & mellow polar bear to join your pack? Look no further! Apollo is approx. 1.5-2 years old & has had a rough start to life. He needs stability, routine & deserves to find his happily ever after! Originally, he was found as a stray covered in ticks, wounds, severely matted & in rough shape. He was adopted from the Clovis, NM shelter end of June 2023 & spent his time with a couple who decided they needed to re-home him for personal reasons. Apollo successfully lived with a cat & a chihuahua at their home. When Apollo got off transport he was terrified of stairs & had to be carried up and down them. Now, he will go up and down stairs, as long as there are minimal steps. He still refuses to go down our stairs into our basement. This dog has made leaps & bounds since arriving to the 801 in November. When he first got off transport, he refused to come inside the house at all. He still had his feral mentality & was learning to trust people again. Now, Apollo is the ideal house guest. Overall, he has mellow energy with spurts of playfulness. He can free roam without any accidents & is trustworthy when left alone in the home. He takes treats gently, gives the softest most tender kisses & adores playing with his 2 foster dog siblings. True to his breed, he is handsy when playing with dogs & does bark at anything outside (birds, dogs, squirrels, passerby's). He prefers to eat outside alone. Apollo is truly a sensitive, gentle giant. He is a perfect gentleman on the leash & does well with other dogs at fully fenced in dog parks. Apollo needs consistency with training to help learn basic commands, as he has had no formal training. He is working on recall so can't be off leash yet. Ideal home:Must have another young playful confident pup to show him the ropes. He's a dogs dog! Main level living home with minimal stairs to the outside, and a home with an open floor plan (confined spaces freak him out, he used to dart through doors and hallways but he's gotten much better). He is a big boy & needs space to feel comfortable.A big secure backyard to explore or a secure ranch/farm would be great too!Moderate exercise needed about 45 minutes per day, if you're looking for a highly active dog, this one's not for you. Because of their thick double coats Great Pyrenees can overheat fairly easily, so it's best to not exercise them in sweltering temperatures, and be sure to give them access to fresh water at all times.A family familiar with the breed, understands their personality traits & their needs. His breed shines through his personality. He loves spending time outside, protecting the "flock". He is stubborn at times and can be indifferent. He is vocal at any sign of life or noise. A family that understands Pyrenees are prone to bloat, so they must be fed in a raised feeder and shouldn't be fed directly before or after exercise. Feeding multiple small meals a day can also help prevent bloat. A family that understands & is prepared to deal with future potential joint issues large breed dogs are prone to (ex. hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia). If you think Apollo would be a good fit for your family, please fill out an adoption application at caws.org and schedule a time to do a meet and greet. Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis. We strive to find the perfect home for each animal. Applications may take up to 48 hours to process. All CAWS animals are fixed, microchipped, and vaccinated. His adoption fee is $200.

Adopt Apollo and Receive Dogecoin
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's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is Apollo's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Apollo, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Apollo's Dogecoin 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 Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. 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 was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Apollo’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the Apollo’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’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin 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!
