Adoption information
About Apollo
Introducing Apollo a lovely seven and a half year old black Belgian Shepherd (Groenendael), with a heart full of love and a spirit brimming with loyalty.
Apollo lived a lot of his life on a long chain, but he has now been bathed and is slowly setting and showing he loves human company and looking for his new home.
His ideal family will appreciate the wisdom and companionship that an older dog brings, and they're ready to provide a loving and stable environment where he can thrive.
Apollo has not been tested with cats or pocket pets.
Apollo will require an experienced Belgian Shepherd owner who will place structure in his life and maintain boundaries to help him develop confidence in her new environment with human interactions.
Apollo is currently available for adoption in NSW, ACT, Queensland and Victoria. If you're interested in making him a cherished member of your family, you'll need to drive with your loved ones to meet him. Should he, for any reason, not be the perfect fit for your family, you would be responsible for either bringing him back to Sydney or helping us rehome him from your home.
If you have recently owned a Belgian Shepherd or large breed dog, and understand German Shepherd and think you have the commitment to give him a new home, then please select the "Enquire about Apollo" and we will send you an application form or go to our website and complete the application form.

We have an Adoptions Manager who screens all prospective candidates as to their suitability to adopt a German Shepherd Dog.
We try to contact every one by phone but if that isn't successful we will email our application form to you, which needs to be completed and returned, or you can call us back and we can chat and complete for you. We will also ask you to provide photos of your yard and fencing to enable us to see where the dog will be kept and that they have areas of shade and shelter.
All our dogs are ready to go to their new home, so when you enquire about a dog you must be in a position to take them into your home. We are unable to hold a dog while you fix your fences or go on holiday, etc.
The successful candidate who adopts one of our dogs is provided with an information kit, ongoing support, training and advice on all aspects of feeding, training and general assistance to ensure both the new owner and our rescued dog settle into their home.
