Apollo-Sleaford

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Meet Apollo Apollo is a 2 year-old entire male looking for a new home with an experienced owner who can provide clear, confident leadership. He will benefit from returning to basic training and transitioning to a healthy, balanced diet to help him reach an ideal weight. He had lived with the child for two years without any previous issues. The incident occurred when the child attempted to take a bone away from Apollo and he reacted by nipping. The nip did not break the skin, and the child did not require any medical treatment. Apollo can be “protective” of his family. During his assessment, he was wearing a muzzle and on a lead when our volunteer arrived. He barked initially but was wagging his tail throughout and was happy to be stroked by the volunteer. Due to the hot weather, our volunteer was unable to take Apollo for a walk during the assessment. His owners report that he pulls on the lead and can be reactive towards other dogs, although he has never been involved in a fight. Apollo has never lived with other dogs or cats, so he is looking for a pet free home. Apollo could live with older children who understand and respect dogs and who have experience with the breed. Apollo is microchipped and has restarted his vaccinations. He suffers from travel sickness on long journeys. Can be left alone for short periods He is currently being fed Pedigree Chum because he does not enjoy dog biscuits Apollo is currently underweight and would benefit from a more nutritious diet and weight gain Apollo has plenty of potential in the right home. With experienced handling, consistent training, and appropriate management, he could make a loyal and rewarding companion.

About Apollo-Sleaford

What life with Apollo-Sleaford looks like

Apollo-Sleaford is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at German Shepherd Dog Rescue in United Kingdom.

An 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 United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Apollo-Sleaford, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Apollo-Sleaford?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. German Shepherd Dog Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Apollo-Sleaford on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Apollo-Sleaford if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — German Shepherd Dog Rescue will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Apollo-Sleaford already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Apollo-Sleaford isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with German Shepherd Dog Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Apollo-Sleaford 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 (EN). 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.
