ALEXANDRIA, VA- Apollo is a 2-year-old male dog who weighs around 70 pounds. He is extremely social, friendly and outgoing with other people and dogs. He’s attended numerous events with us and has always been a well-behaved gentleman. According to AWLA, he is house trained as well. He knows the cue for sit and does wonderful on a leash. Thanks to Beyer Subaru, his adoption fee is waived in October. Beyer is covering the adoption fees for all dogs 40+ pounds in October.
