Apollo’s Story
Apollo, a 2-month-old Terrier & Hound Mix born around July 6, 2025, has a story that’s both heartbreaking and inspiring. Found abandoned in a dumpster at just 5-6 weeks old, this brindle and brown pup was given a second chance by Mending Souls in Houston. With routine medical care—including deworming, vaccines, and a recent neuter and rabies shot—he’s transformed into a thriving, happy puppy. His foster home has provided socialization and love, helping him become a well-adjusted pup who gets along great with other dogs and is young enough to adapt to homes with children or cats.
With an estimated adult weight of around 30 lbs, Apollo’s smaller size (likely from a terrier cross) makes him a versatile fit for many households. He’s already walking nicely on a leash and nearly potty-trained, showing his smarts and eagerness to please. After overcoming his rough start, Apollo is ready to leave his foster home for a forever family who will cherish his resilience and playful energy.
Ideal Home
Apollo would thrive in a loving, active home with owners who can provide gentle guidance for his puppy energy. A secure apartment or home with space for play is ideal for his medium size, and he’d love a yard for exploration. He’s great with adults, children, other dogs, and potentially cats with proper introductions, making him suitable for a variety of households. Owners committed to continuing his training and offering daily playtime and affection will find Apollo to be a joyful, adaptable companion. A suburban or urban setting in Houston or nearby will make this little survivor’s life truly special.
