Notes from Scout's Honor Rescue

Apollo has the kind of face that makes you pause: a soft, fluffy black coat, warm tan markings, and big, expressive eyes looking right at you.

He’s about 8 years old and has been in Scout’s Honor’s program since 2020. That’s a long time to wait for a home. Apollo has plenty of love to give, but he’s a stoic boy. He isn’t looking for nonstop excitement. He wants to be a companion—to share someone’s space, enjoy a comfortable place to rest, and know the security of having a home.

Apollo enjoys other dogs and moderate play, especially with easygoing dogs who match his pace. High-energy, nonstop play isn’t his style. He’ll do best with experienced adults who can offer a calm home, a steady routine, consistent guidance, and regular activity. Apollo is not a fit for a home with cats or children.

After all these years, Apollo deserves the chance to discover the comforts of home and the quiet joy of belonging to someone. Could you be the person who gives him that chance? He needs a foster or adopter, and Scout’s Honor can cover all expenses associated with fostering as needed.

What happens next

  1. Contact Scout's Honor Rescue using the button. AdoptNearby does not take applications.
  2. They will send you their application or ask a few questions about your home.
  3. Most organizations arrange a meet, sometimes a home visit, then a small adoption fee that usually covers spay or neuter and vaccines. That fee is paid to Scout's Honor Rescue, never to AdoptNearby.
  4. Read the dogs care guide so you arrive prepared.
