Apollo is a handsome man with some emotional baggage, but hey don’t we all have some of that? His previous owners tell us he can be food aggressive and timid around men. He should probably not be in a home with children. His best scenario for a new home would be a single woman. So far he has been a very good boy for us. He is already neutered and ready to find his happily ever after. Visit Apollo at the Venango County Humane Society from noon to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
