About Apollo
Well hi there! I’m Apollo!
BUT do not get confused I am no Greek God of the Sun. In fact the sun and I aren’t really friends.
I am a 3yr old border collie boy looking for a pasty human or a sun avoider…someone who already puts on 50+ sunscreen and a hat to go to the park… I have a condition called Lupus and the sun’s UV causes my nose to get sores on it.
Let’s take shady tree or moonlit strolls, so I can practice my gentle 'good boy' lead walking. We could go for an early morning play at the park and then let me flop at your feet while you work from home, or I’d love having a doggy sibling to keep me company if you have to leave me to work (I am loving my foster siblings).
Do not be fooled.. I may look like a border collie but I have the personality of a golden retriever..
That famous border collie work ethic? Non existent. Puzzle feeders? No thanks! Herding instinct? Mmm nope.. I avoid my foster family’s bunny at all costs. Chasing a ball? Absolutely! But I’m rather clumsy and I don’t like it if you throw it too far. I’m a medium energy dog at best!
Kids though? Oh boy do I love them! If you ever can’t find me.. I’m flopped next to the kids while they play.
A Christmas wish you ask?
My very own people.. especially ones that give great butt scratches, someone who will stare into my glacial blue eyes while I give gentle sloppy kisses… perhaps a doggy pal I can follow around.. maybe a few kids I can play and snuggle with.
My New Year’s resolution?
To lose a few kgs.. but what kind of New Year’s resolution doesn’t start with a weight loss journey?
If you have ever dreamed of owning a living, breathing, ball of fluff.. I am your boy!!
***Apollo is located in NSW....

Adoption details
To apply to adopt a dog from Dogs4Jobs, you must firstly complete our adoptions application form in full at http://dogs4jobs.com.au/adoption-form/.
You can also write out your answers and email them to dogs@dogs4jobs.com.au
*Please note, due to the high volume of applications received, we will not respond to Petrescue chat messages, or enquiries to adopt a dog. You must complete our adoptions form to be considered for the dog or pup, and we will respond to this form via our email.
We will then request to complete a yard check, or for you to send in photos of your yard showing the fencing, space, shelter and any hazards etc, to confirm it is safe and secure, as well as adequate space for a working breed dog.
Following this, we will then put you in touch with the dog/s foster carer/s that you are interested in, to chat further over the phone, about whether the dog is a good fit for your family, and vice versa. We are searching for the perfect match for each dog and their needs. We offer interstate adoption on all of our dogs.
