He is a medium energy guy who loves playing with his foster siblings, going for walks, and then napping on his doggy bed or the couch when the day is done. He would be a wonderful fit for just about any home ready to give this lovable boy all the attention he deserves.Hercules has not met a stranger yet and runs over to greet every person he meets with pure excitement. He loves playing with other dogs and would do great with or without a canine sibling. He has not been around cats but his friendly and social nature suggests he would likely do fine with proper introductions. He is wonderful with kids and a great fit for a family of any kind.Hercules is a fast learner who is food and toy motivated, making training a genuine pleasure. He is fully crate trained and house trained on a consistent daily routine. He greets with great enthusiasm and is doing much better about keeping all four paws on the floor with a simple reminder. He walks well on leash, occasionally pulling but correcting easily with a little guidance.This big-eared, big-hearted boy has so much love and enthusiasm to bring into a forever home. Could Hercules be the one for you?Please Note: All dogs are posted on our website until they are officially adopted. This dog may have other interested adopters in line.
