About Apollo
Well HI there! I’m Apollo! A 3yr old male Merle Border Collie… 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 looking for a pasty human or a sun avoider…someone who already puts on 50+ sunscreen and a hat to go to the park (because me too)…I have a condition called lupus and the suns UV causes my nose to get sores on it. Let’s take moonlit strolls or go for an early morning play at the park.
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.. I’m medium energy and if it seems like a lot of effort I’m probably going to ask for a cuddle instead. High prey or movement drive? Good joke. The smarts? Ahhh next question. Agile and coordinated? More like clumsy! I am a dream to walk and I love a slow meandering sniff along the footpath!
Kids? Oh boy do I love them! If you ever can’t find me.. I’m flopped next to the kids while they play. I’m a big boy though so they will need to be ok with 33kgs of fluffy love galloping towards them or leaning on them.
Ideally I would like to be someone’s world.. because I’ll be sure to make them mine! Someone home more often than not where I’m always allowed inside to curl up at your feet. I want nothing more than to follow you around or to sit pressed against you.
I really love other dogs too BUT I am socially awkward (shhh …I don’t realise this) so would need a very chilled out/medium-low energy doggy companion (think Labrador level of unbothered) and an owner who understands the social skills I am lacking.
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.
