Story
Hercules is a Retriever and Lab mixed pup who is just under 1 year old.
He has a big name and an even bigger personality.
A total goofball at heart, Hercules will make you laugh every single day. Whether he’s chasing his own tail, bouncing after a favorite toy, or flashing those irresistible puppy eyes, he’s pure joy on four paws. He’s playful, affectionate, and still very much a puppy, so he’s looking for a family ready for fun, love, and a little bit of happy chaos.
If you’re searching for a loyal best friend who brings smiles wherever he goes, Hercules might just be your perfect match.
He is described as a 'Busy Bee'. I’m a naturally playful, curious, and trusting canine. Take me for a big walk every day; give me something to do. After my job’s done, I’ll curl up in front of the fire with you in the evenings. (Externally motivated).
Per his previous foster mom:
Herky is a very happy boy that loves people, playing with his toys, and prancing around, holding his head up proudly. He loves greeting people and everyone says what a good and happy boy he is. When he is greeting people he can get a little up close and personal, but is always so sweet. He is an excellent guard dog with just the right amount of bark to be protective when someone is near the house, and doesn't bark without good reason. He loves snagging up tissues and napkins, so be warned not to leave those laying within his reach, unless you don't mind picking up the pieces later. He is good at entertaining himself. He loves going out on walks, running around freely, and plays really well with other dogs. He is learning sit, come, and stay. Since Hercules is still a puppy, it's best not to leave him unattended inside the house. He can't seem to help himself and probably get into something that he shouldn't.
