Adopt Apolo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Apolo is a charming, cheeky boy with a personality that’s guaranteed to make you smile. Rescued from Romania, this handsome mixed breed has embraced his new chance at life with enthusiasm and affection, quickly showing just how much love he has to give. Full of character, Apolo is a real “cheeky chappy” with a face you simply can’t help but smile back at. He absolutely adores human companionship and will happily follow you around with a constantly wagging tail, just wanting to be close to his people at all times. His loyal and loving nature makes him a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys having a dog by their side throughout the day. Apolo also has a playful side and loves nothing more than running around the yard, burning off energy and enjoying himself. When playtime is over, he’s more than ready to soak up all the affection he can get. He has the sweetest habit of leaning against your legs, making sure he gets every possible ounce of love and attention. We believe Apolo would thrive in a home that can match his affectionate and playful personality, where he’ll be included in daily life and given plenty of opportunities for both fun and cuddles.

About Apolo

What life with Apolo looks like

Apolo is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Just For Dogs (East Midlands) in United Kingdom.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Apolo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Apolo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Just For Dogs (East Midlands) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Apolo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Apolo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Just For Dogs (East Midlands) 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 Apolo 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 Apolo 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 Just For Dogs (East Midlands) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Apolo 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.
