Three years in the animal shelter: Nordhausen animal shelter hopes for Apollo's luck!

Today the doors at the Nordhausen animal shelter are wide open, but inside there is a special four-legged friend waiting for his great happiness. Apollo, an eight-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback x Dogo Canario mix, has been at the animal shelter for three years now and is hoping for a home that will offer him the love and security he so desperately needs. The animal shelter employees describe the energetic dog as friendly, fit and agile, although he has a strong hunting instinct and likes to guard his property. Living in an apartment is rather unsuitable for him, but large dogs are not a problem, while small dogs and cats are rather taboo. If you want to win your heart for Apollo, you can contact the animal shelter directly on 03631 / 900101.

The fact that Apollo is not the only dog ​​hero is also shown by the disappointing results after the broadcast of Martin Rütter's TV show “Die Unvermittelbaren”. Despite the intensive work and the positive assessments, there were no inquiries for Apollo after the broadcast. Animal shelter employees report frustrated people who do not show up for scheduled appointments. But hope dies last: The animal shelter is committed to ensuring that Apollo finally finds the home he deserves in 2025.

The challenges in the animal shelter

Animal shelters often face special challenges. Due to the large number of animals and the individual care of the animals, it becomes a real task to find the right owners. Employees at the animal shelter report that interested parties keep coming forward, but then they don't show up for the appointments. This is frustrating for everyone involved and often leads to a loss of patience with potential adoptive parents. The sad result is that some animals have to wait many months, even years, until they finally find a suitable home.

The industry has had a tough time due to the pandemic, and the Nordhausen animal shelter is no exception. But the passion of the employees remains unbroken and they work tirelessly to give animals like Apollo a second chance. The goal is to find a home – and the committed employees work to achieve this every day.

A call to action

Anyone who has a big heart and wants to enrich the life of a loyal companion is called to give Apollo a chance. People with experience in dog ownership and a place in their hearts for an active dog are asked to get in touch. Hoping that the year 2025 will bring the longed-for new beginning for Apollo and the animal shelter staff - because there is nothing better than the joy of finding a new home. Every day counts, and maybe the next prospect will be the person who brings Apollo his newfound happiness.

When heart and understanding come together, an animal's life can be changed forever. Let's help Apollo start his new adventure!
