My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Apollo needs a home with:
-No cats
-No dogs
-No chickens
-No kids under the age of 12
-No apartments

Meet Apollo! Apollo is a handsome 4 year old Thai Ridgeback (he is listed online as a Rhodesian Ridgeback because his true breed, Thai Ridgeback, is unfortunately not listed as an option in our shelter database). He is an energetic boy who would love to accompany you on your morning runs or your favorite hiking trails. It is important that his adopters are prepared to give him plenty of exercise to keep him healthy and happy! Although on occasion he has been know to snuggle on the couch, he absolutely loves playing and would appreciate all different kinds of toys - especially ones of the squeaky variety! He's ready for his adopter to teach him how to play fetch (he loves to chase the ball, but he doesn't quite know how to bring it back yet!). He'd also appreciate fun food puzzles like Kongs stuffed with tasty peanut butter to keep him mentally stimulated all day long. Apollo is looking for a house (no apartments please) with children over the age of 12. He needs to live in a home without other dogs, without chickens and without cats. Apollo can be a bit shy at first and takes some time, love, and treats to warm up to new people. Once he is comfortable, he loves to cuddle on the couch and get lots of pets. He is a smart boy and would benefit from positive reinforcement training so that he can bond with you over a shared activity. If you're looking for a stoic and active dog, stop by KHS and adopt Apollo today!

More about this shelter

Kitsap Humane Society is a private, nonprofit animal shelter. We rescue and rehome over 6000 pets each year. Every dog or cat leaves our shelter spayed or neutered and with complete vaccines and a microchip. We have been caring for animals in need since 1908 and envision a time when all adoptable pets have loving homes.

We are extremely proud of our exceptionally high “lives saved” rate of over 95%. Through our active adoption, behavior, foster, transfer, and veterinary programs, we are able to rehome every adoptable animal that enters our facility. No animal is ever euthanized for lack of space.

In addition to caring for and adopting animals, we also provide spay/neuter services to low income residents of Kitsap County, and provide Animal Rescue and Enforcement services to our surrounding municipalities.
