Where do you rescue dogs from?
We rescue dogs from shelters throughout Texas, focusing mainly on the DFW area, but pulling from others when we can. We also take in many stray and abandoned animals from the streets. When space allows, we accept owner surrenders. We believe in second chances.
How do I adopt a pet from Apollo Support & Rescue?
Please fill out an adoption application. Applications are reviewed by a staff member then forwarded to the foster or facility to schedule meet-and-greets. We ask you to thoughtfully consider what kind of pet would fit well in your family now and for the lifetime of the pet. This is a commitment and these animals are counting on you to be their family for the rest of their life.
Can I adopt an animal if I am out of state?
Yes! We accept out-of-state adoptions. If a pet is listed on Petfinder in your state, we have an upcoming transport to that area.
We deliver adopted pets once a month via transport. The animals arrive in a climate-controlled van with two drivers that rotate driving and sleeping. All animals are monitored the entire trip. The van departs from Justin, TX on a Thursday afternoon and arrives on Saturday. Times vary depending on road conditions/weather. We stop at Petcos for pick up and do not deliver the animals to homes. If you are wanting to adopt from another state or city but are near our routes, please let us know before finalizing an adoption so we can confirm arrangements.
We transport almost monthly to Portland, Oregon; Lacey, Washington; and Tukwila, Washington.
Every few months we also transport to the Midwest to cities such as St Louis, Missouri and Downers Grove, Illinois.
We also transport to the East Coast to Richmond, Virginia; Phillipsburg, New Jersey; Latham, New York; and Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania.
All other out-of-state adoptions would need to pick up in the DFW area. Our volunteers may be able to meet partway, but this is not a guarantee.

What if I can’t keep my pet anymore?
Contact us to share the situation. If you adopted the dog from Apollo, we always take our pets back. If the pet was not adopted from us, we will try to find a spot with a foster or provide you with additional resources. Do not abandon your animal to fend for itself. Email us at [email protected] for assistance.
How do I receive my pet's spay/neuter voucher for TCAP?
Vouchers are included in adoption folders for locally adopted pets. If you did not receive one or have misplaced it, please email [email protected] for a replacement. Out-of-state adopters do not receive vouchers but should send proof of spay/neuter to [email protected].
How are donations used?
Donations are used to provide care and medical treatment for our rescue animals until they are adopted. We supply fosters with all needed supplies, and we also have a facility with three buildings that house 100+ dogs managed by a full-time staff. We fundraise for specific projects/improvements so everyone knows what they are donating to. All Board of Directors members are volunteers.
