About Apollo
We all know the saying “good things come in small packages”, but anyone who has spent time with a big dog knows that the best things really do come in giant packages!! And we have the best giant package of canine wonderfulness ready and waiting for his perfect forever family.
Apollo is a 3 year old great dane x mastiff who currently weighs in at over 80kgs. He is truly a giant amongst giants!
Apollo has all his basic training in place (including toilet training) and is ready and willing to keep learning. He’s very food motivated and handler-focused, so if you’ve got treats available then he’s ready and willing to learn.
Apollo loves to be involved in everything that is going on in his home and would love to find a family who was around more often than not. He’s a giant snuggle-bug who just wants to be wherever his people are.
In terms of his future people, Apollo is best suited to a family that has experience with large/giant breeds and who are physically capable of managing such a large dog. Despite being a gentle giant, Apollo is still a very big boy so isn’t suited to a family with small kids. A home with dog-loving teenagers and another friendly large/giant would be wonderful for him.
Apollo is currently located in Melbourne, VIC. Although we do offer interstate adoption for all our dogs, our preference is to find a home for Apollo in the Melbourne area. Given his size, standard road transport would be uncomfortable for Apollo and air transport would be prohibitively expensive. Added to that, we’d like to make his adoption transition a gentle one where he has the opportunity to hang out with his potential new family over a period of time to make the transition into his new home as easy as possible. Apollo has already experienced a lot of change in a relatively short period of time, so we want to make this next change in his life as smooth and positive as possible for him.
Medical notes
Apollo is deaf.
Apollo has also experienced 2 seizures with a 6 month interval between seizures. Unless the frequency increases, no treatment will be required. Should the frequency increase, ongoing medication may be required.
Adoption details
Hear No Evil's Adoption process:
1st Step * You contact us to obtain an adoption application, and discuss the dog of interest.
Once the application is completed and returned it will be assessed for suitability.
2nd Step * A Meet and Greet with the dog and all members of the adopting family and and current dogs is arranged where possible.
This usually coincides with a Yard check to ensure the safety and security of the property on which the dog will be kept. - We understand that this is not always possible in interstate adoptions and this will be discussed on your initial contact.
3rd Step *Payment of the Adoption fee in full. The dog is then handed over with any belongings, and all relevant paperwork and records.
Transport arrangements are the financial responsibility of the Adopting party. Hear No Evil are happy to assist with departure preparations and ensuring the dog makes its transport connection.
Final step * Once the 14 day 'settling in' period has ended, the change of ownership microchip details are submitted, and the adoption is officially finalised.
