My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

  • 3 years old (estimated)
  • Neutered male
  • Has done well with another dog at the shelter
  • Looking for a home without cats
  • No known experience with children
  • Has done well with potty training in the shelter

Hercules is the definition of a gentle giant — a laid-back, lovable boy who’s as sweet as he is big! He’s great on a leash and enjoys going for leisurely walks, and he’s sure to win you over with his slobbery kisses and the adorable bubbles he makes after a good drink of water. He’s done well meeting another dog at the shelter and has shown good potty training habits in his kennel. If you’re looking for a big, easygoing buddy with an even bigger heart, Hercules might just be your perfect match!

Hercules is heartworm positive and searching for a foster home where he can rest and recover during his treatment. The shelter provides all necessary supplies and covers medical care—you just provide a safe and loving temporary home!

The online adoption listing websites require that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog's individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess.

Additional requirements may apply depending upon the individual animal.

Upon adoption, the adopter is required to sign a contract agreeing to provide the animal with the care and medical treatment he or she needs throughout his or her life. They also must agree to provide the animal with an indoor home and if at any point in the animal's life the adopter is unable to keep the animal, the animal must be returned to the shelter.

More about this shelter

The HSJC is located in Jefferson, Wisconsin and is a small, privately run non-profit shelter that has been in operation since 1922. We recently celebrated our 90th year of caring for dogs, cats, birds and other small animals in need. Each year, close to 1,000 pets find sanctuary at our shelter. We put forth great effort to reunite owners with lost pets and to find good new homes for those who need a second chance. We do not impose a time limit on how long a healthy, adoptable animal may stay with us as they wait to be adopted.
