Hercules

5 month old male

Story

When five-month-old Hercules arrived at a Dallas animal shelter as a stray, he had been ravaged by mange and worms, and had almost no fur. Fortunately, things are looking up for this adorable pug mix, who has a beautiful new coat, is living the carefree puppy life, and is showing his enthusiastic and social personality! In his leisure time, Hercules loves to visit the dog park and chase other dogs, go for walks, fetch balls, and play with plush and squeaky toys. Because he is a total smarty pants who is also treat-motivated, Hercules has quickly mastered potty training and a variety of commands including sit, stay, and fetch. He sleeps soundly in a playpen through the night, and doesn’t snore. Due to his youthful age, Hercules’ ideal forever family will have at least one person at home most of the time to provide him with consistent exercise, training, and socialization. Because he enjoys the company of other dogs, he would be the best match for a family that has another friendly and playful dog at home or that can bring him to a dog park or dog daycare frequently. In classical mythology, Hercules was famous for his strength and for his far-ranging adventures. We think that this strong boy has more than lived up to his name, and now he’s ready to have far-ranging adventures with a loving family! If you’d like to adopt Hercules, apply for him today.
