Apollo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Apollo is an imposing male dog who urgently needs confident, consistent leadership. During training at the shelter, he shows that he loves to learn and is able to focus on his handler, allowing himself to be redirected away from outside distractions. Reinforcing this will still require a great deal of training work for his adopters, so we are looking for adopters with a lot of experience, ideally including experience with difficult dogs. In the past, there have been several incidents in which Apollo displayed destructive biting. He is particularly conspicuous around children. For this reason, Apollo has been placed under a leash and muzzle requirement, which is why, before the

Apollo ist ein imposanter Rüde, der dringend auf souveräne Führung angewiesen ist. Er zeigt beim Training im Tierheim, dass er sehr lernfreudig ist und sich auch auf seinen Menschen konzentrieren kann, um sich aus dem Außenfokus herausholen zu lassen. Dies zu festigen, wird für seine Übernehmer trotzdem noch viel Erziehungsarbeit bedeuten, daher suchen wir Übernehmer mit viel Erfahrung , im Idealfall auch schon mit schwierigen Hunden. In der Vergangenheit gab es bereits mehrere Vorfälle, in denen Apollo Beschädigungsbeißen gezeigt hat. Vor allem Kindern gegenüber zeigt er sich auffällig. Daher wurde Apollo eine Leinen- und Maulkorbpflicht auferlegt, weshalb vor der

About Apollo

What life with Apollo looks like

Apollo is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Leipzig in Leipzig.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Apollo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Apollo?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierheim Leipzig handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Apollo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Apollo if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Tierheim Leipzig whether they will for Apollo, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Apollo already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Apollo. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierheim Leipzig, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Apollo isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierheim Leipzig about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Apollo and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
