Hercules has certainly earned his name with a healthy dose of strength and courage, but he's also fun-loving! After an energetic play session, he just wants to relax with his special someone while showering them with kisses.

"Hercules is a SWEETIE. He truly just wants to protect and love his human. He is a great snuggler and play buddy. He has the softest belly and snout. He makes me laugh with his goofy faces and mannerisms," noted a previous foster.

Hercules enjoys playing fetch, snuggling, and being with his people. He also has hung out with a cat without a problem. He does great when left home alone free-roaming, and he is also crate trained. He usually takes naps or plays with his toys. And he's also house-trained.

Hercules is a great boy who will do best in a single-person home. He can have some anxiety when with visitors, kids or other dogs so he will be happiest with one new parent.

If you're holding out for a hero to enter your life, Hercules may just be right for you. Come meet this lovable boy!

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!

Come meet your new best friend
