About Hera

Hera is a 2-year-old, spayed female, pit mix looking for her forever home. Hera was surrendered due to unfortunate circumstances of her previous owner, making her unable to care for Herta anymore. My husband and I have been fostering Hera since November of 2025 and we have grown to know this sweet dog over the last few months. Hera would be best suited in a home with no other pets; she wants to have her new owner all to herself. We would consider Hera dog reactive, although she does not lunge or growl at other dogs; she is unpredictable with them likely due to not having previous exposure in her life. She does great wearing a basket muzzle and has had a few introductions with one of our dogs, with consistent training and the right dog she may get along with one down the road. She is extremely food motivated and has shown great improvement in listening to commands with treat reinforcement. Although she still needs to learn some manners when it comes to jumping, she is heading in the right direction. Hera has BIG feelings and excitement; she loves people. She is excited so much that sometimes she will nibble your clothes when you come home to greet her; she redirects well with being handed a toy to have instead. Sometimes Hera likes to search the yard for poop, so she will need supervision on walks or when outside. She does great on a leash, she gets walked around the neighborhood daily and does well with people and their pets passing by or dogs barking from yards, she just cannot interact with them. She has some anxiety and is currently on medications to help with that. Hera has had a lot of life changes recently and once she settles into a new home, there is potential to reduce these medications. She is a big chewer and will need supervision with items around the house; she is crate trained and will likely need to be crated when left unsupervised. She loves to play tug of war and sit in the sunshine to soak up some rays but what she truely loves most is spending time with people. She loves to snuggle and would love to be touching her human at all times if she could. Hera really needs someone who will be patient and calm with her to give her the second chance she deserves. She will need continued training and someone willing to put the time in for her. We have grown to love Hera and all her little quirks; she is a great dog, and anyone who adopts her will see all the love she has to give.
