Apollo
Chief Security Officer & Gentle Mentor

Apollo sadly passed away in November 2025, leaving behind an unforgettable legacy of love, loyalty, and gentle leadership.

As Chief Security Officer at Doherty Corp for over a decade, he carried out his duties with unwavering loyalty, a gentle heart, and a constant hope for belly rubs and treats. A patient big brother and the ultimate mentor to every foster animal that entered our home, Apollo led by example with kindness and grace.

Thank you for being our protector, and our best friend. You will always be remembered, forever missed, and never forgotten.

Atlas
Apprentice

At just 12 weeks old, Atlas is not only eager to learn but also enthusiastic about food exploration. Under the mentorship of Apollo, he’s soaking up knowledge and skills while also giving his mentor a challenge in the treat department. Despite his love for unconventional snacks like rocks, sticks and dirt, Atlas is determined to follow in Apollo’s pawprints and become a trusted security officer.
