About Hercules

They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply? Meet Hercules, the lovable rebel ready for his forever home! This strong, smart, and slightly mischievous American Pitbull Terrier is about two years old and was rescued as part of a group of over 30 dogs from Sumner County. Hercules is searching for a special someone who can match his big heart and bold personality. He has mastered a variety of tricks—from sit and stay to shake and wait (especially for breakfast and dinner!). Hercules is both kennel and house trained, and his chatty nature shines through when he's ready to join you outside his kennel. True to his name, he's a snuggler who bonds deeply, loves burrowing under the covers, stretching out between your legs, and taking charge of his own bedtime at 9 PM. Hercules does best with an experienced, confident adopter who can gently guide his dominant streak. He will need a home with a six-foot fence to keep his adventurous spirit safe, no cats or small animals, and older children who can appreciate his lively energy. While he gets along well with other dogs, his new family should be ready for a loyal companion full of affection, fun, and a bit of sass. Born under the sign of Leo, Hercules is naturally outgoing and playful—traits that fit his big personality perfectly! Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
