Herkules's Story

Herkules is a returned adoption, due to issues with their other dog. He was born here in 2023 to Shamus and Shakira, along with 9 litter mates! He's a sweet, loving, gorgeous dog who unfortunately is back with us because he and the owner's other dog had had a couple fights - not sure who started them, so we don't know if it was just not the right situation for him, or if he truly does not get along with other dogs, even though the 2 had been together from the start! He has shown some food aggression towards other dogs since he's been back, but nothing towards people. We now know he ABSOLUTELY cannot be in a home with cats - this is a deal-breaker for this guy, unfortunately! More to come as we get to know him as an adult.
