"There's nothing this boy won't do for a bit of love."

A big dog with a lot of love to give has been waiting patiently for a YEAR for someone to adopt him. Loveable American bulldog Apollo is at the RSPCA’s Doncaster, Rotherham and District Branch’s South Yorkshire Animal Centre, where he has been since November 2022.

In the last 12 months, very few people have shown any interest in him - despite him having a lot of love to give, said Megan Bullock, from the branch. She added: "It has really surprised us that no one has adopted Apollo yet. It is just so sad that, a year on, he’s still patiently waiting for someone to take him home.

"He is a big dog - but that just means he has a big heart! One thing that became incredibly obvious to us right off the bat was that this boy lives for affection. Whether it be a booty scratch or a face squish, there's nothing this boy won't do for a bit of love.
