The Plano animal shelter featured Apollo, a 2-year-old Newfoundland and Chow Chow mix who had not been claimed by an owner, the city broadcast said.

The broadcast described Apollo as initially scared at the shelter but now more comfortable; he enjoys playing fetch and head scratches. The broadcast said Apollo is heartworm positive and that treatment has been sponsored once he is in his forever home.

The city announced a time-limited adoption promotion: through April 30, cats and dogs 8 months and older are available for $20 and VIP animal fees are waived. The broadcast directed listeners to share.plano.gov/petsforadoption for the full list of animals available for adoption.

The broadcast did not provide details about the sponsor of Apollo’s heartworm treatment, the schedule for that treatment, or whether additional medical follow-up is required after adoption.
