Apollo
Breed: Great Dane
Barking from: Queensland
What's up dog?
Apollo was adopted through Adoptadane in Queensland. He had 2 failed adoptions and 4 foster carers in the 6 months after being surrendered at 12 months old.
I worked with a number of trainers over a 2 year period to have him help me with numerous tasks I struggle with as a Veteran with injuries. He was ready for his PACT test but was cancelled several times due to Covid restrictions in 2020.
He helps me daily and has also assisted in training of 6 foster dogs, though Adoptadane and independent rescues.
He loves going on the train and knows to push the button to open the doors when we get to our stop. He alerts to medical conditions and assists me on stairs and if I fall. He is my ROCK and I love him dearly.
