Story
Age: 4 years oldWeight: 87 poundsDogs? Yes please!Cats? Possibly! My history with cats is unknown. Kids? Possibly! My history with kids is unknown. Hi! I`m Hercules. Don`t let my big size and appear deter you from meeting me. I`m actually quite the gentleman. I`m crate trained, potty trained, and an easy walker on the leash. I enjoy belly rubs, playing with my doggy friends and spending quality time with my human. If possible, I`d love to find a home with my brother Zeus. However, please do not let that deter you from adopting me solo. I`m ready for a stable life. Can you be that person for me?Interested in adopting?

Possibly, I do have a history of living with children!Hi! I`m Spark! I`m a happy boy that enjoys being around humans.
