My size is: medium, currently 16kg, but I am expected to be extra-large (45kg+) Adoption Fee: $395 Hi, I am Hercules! My name suggests I am God-like and honestly, you would be lying to yourself if you don't think I am! However, since I am a puppy, you will have to have the patience of a saint haha! Being little, but soon to be big boy, it is going to be extremely important that I start to learn the importance of manners. Force free training and early exposure will set me up for success in a world that misunderstands large breeds like mine. Maybe you can be the reason why people start to finally understand large breeds? Structure, routine and understanding are just a few things that my forever family can provide me to support my growth into becoming the best God the world has ever seen... Hey God is dog spelt backwards so I am not even lying! Just give me a chance and I promise I will keep your days filled with laughter, make every adventure enjoyable and even stick by your side when the hard days feel a little tougher. I hope to see you soon :) Based on the information we've received and our own observations: - Adults and older children (13+); please bring children to appointment - Does not enjoy the company of other dogs; I don't want to share my home with one Interested in fostering? This is a great way to give animals respite from the shelter and get them into a loving and comfortable home environment while they patiently wait for their forever home.
