I've graduated! I'm sure going to miss Shannon's B&B, but I've doubled my weight & I am ready for my forever family. If you know my forever family, be sure to let them read my write up below so they know that I'm the perfect pup for them!
Are you looking for a sweet, energetic pup to have fun &
enjoy life with? Well then look no
further, because I’m your gal! My name
is Apollonia & I am as smart & lovable as they come!
I’m so intelligent that I’ve learned some pretty amazing
skills in the last 2 weeks with my foster family. I’m already about 90% housebroken. Take me out first thing in the morning, after
naps, & every so often while we play & I rarely have an accident in the
house. In fact, I only had 3 accidents
during my entire foster time – even choosing on my own to go outside by myself
when the door was open. How amazing is
that for 8 weeks old?!?
I love to help in the garden & around the house. It’s a great start to the day exploring the
garden & then jumping into the laundry for a quick nap while we wait for
current load to finish after we have chased all the dirt away with the
broom. I love to be involved in
everything you are doing. However, while
this thick coat makes me look wonderfully cute, I do get hot easily. I love to blow bubbles in a couple of inches
of water in the kiddie pool & then lay in the cool air conditioning – often
on the tile for extra coolness. Oh,
oh, oh –Don’t forget belly rubs!!! Those
are my FAVORITES!!!
I love my crate & I sleep all the way through the
night. If you take me out before I go to
bed, I don’t have any accidents in my crate during the night. You will often find I go nap there on my own
or under a bed during the day. I’m
learning to “come”, “sit” (especially before my food is set down), & “leave
it”. A really important one as I learn
what I can play with & what I can’t! I’m great with cats & dogs – in fact I
learned a lot from watching my older foster family dog. I have experience on a leash & I do
really well. I’d really enjoy long
walks, hikes or running with you. And
maybe we could have a cup of coffee on the patio at Flying Star afterwards!
I have a strong natural herding instinct & I will herd
anything – toads, cats, dogs, people, you name it - I got it! I love to learn – watch for the twist of my
head as I listen to you – and if we could find a herding class that would be
awesome (there are a few around town) or I bet I would even love that agility
class Animal Humane is doing. With
herding, I - of course - love to chase you. But I do something even cuter – I run in front
of you and spin around to try to herd you to a different direction. So learning together in class would be a
great way to have fun together & for me to exercise & continue to learn
that teeth are for toys, not ankles.
I was on my own for quite some time, so a few things still
startle me, but I’m quickly outgrowing them as I learn I’m safe now. But if I come running to you at the sound of
the plane, barking dogs, or need a little reassurance as dusk comes, just know
I’m still learning that you are still there for me, I’m safe, & we are in
this together.
I have so many special qualities, it’s hard to list them all
here….so let’s figure them out together!
If you are looking for a loyal companion to stroll through life together
with & learn new things, have great fun & adventures with, well………….I’m
waiting for you!
