My story

　　Hey there, I'm Apollo, the gentle giant! I'm a handsome Great Dane, estimated to be between 1 and 2 years old, and I'm on the lookout for my forever home. While I may not be a tiny puppy anymore, I still have plenty of love and enthusiasm to share.

　　I'm currently in the process of mastering the art of potty training, but I do have the occasional accident indoors. With consistent guidance and patience, I'm making progress every day. I must admit, I do struggle with separation anxiety, so I'm hoping to find a compassionate owner who can offer me the security and reassurance I need.

　　One of my most endearing qualities is my love for food and my eagerness to learn. I thrive on positive reinforcement and would really flourish with someone who can dedicate time and attention to my training. I'm highly intelligent, so I pick up commands quickly and am always eager to please.

　　Although I can be a bit shy around new people, especially men, I promise I'm incredibly sweet and affectionate once I warm up to you. I'm currently working on improving my recall and responding to my name after a few tries. While I do enjoy some off-leash freedom in close proximity, it's best to wait until I'm more settled in my new environment before fully trusting me off-leash.

　　With my large size and high energy levels, I require a minimum of 2 hours of exercise daily, making a fenced-in yard an ideal setup for me. I get along well with other dog friends and really enjoy socializing and playing with them.

　　Given my size and energy level, I'd likely thrive in a home with pre-teen children or older. Due to my unknown background or history, my past experiences may impact my behavior in unpredictable ways, but with patience and understanding, I'm sure to become a cherished member of your family!

　　Are you ready to open your heart and home to me? If so, I can't wait to meet you!
