Hercules

Fill out an adoption form

This boy is as cute as they come. To describe him in a few words: sweet, smart, and goofy.

Hercules is a great companion. He just wants to be included! Whether that’s cuddling on the couch (he thinks he’s a lap dog) or following you around while you do chores. He also has his independent moments and will go lay in his crate and take a nap or run around with one of his favorite toys.

He loves his daily walks and the occasional run in the backyard. Regular exercise is important for him but he does not need a burdensome amount.

If you’re looking for someone to do some activities with and then relax the rest of the day, this is the boy for you.

He is smart and loves learning new cues and playing brain games. His favorite is searching around a room for treats hidden in small cups.

Hercules has done well entering a variety of new environments and allowing kids, adults, and elders to pet him. This boy does well with kids, is very gentle, but based on his size/strength, they will need to be older and of course, supervised while interacting.

Hercules is interested in other dogs but needs a slow introduction and time to adjust before fully engaging with them. A hold over from his rough start, he will bark at other dogs during a walk if they get too close (this is called leash reactivity – and can be worked on), but he recovers very quickly and is back to his bouncy self.

Overall Hercules is a well rounded, well behaved boy that would make a great addition to the right home.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION -

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and New England.

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.
