Meet Hera 🌸 💙 My adoption fee has been SPONSORED!! 💙 - in memory of Julia Rice Hera may look a little intimidating at first. She's believed to be a labrador rottweiler mix, and it does definitely show! She's got the calm, well-mannered temperament of a labrador, and she likes to do "rottie rumbles" when she wants attention or wants to be let outside. She's an absolute sweetheart of a girl who, more than anything, just wants a family that she can call her own. Hera does very well with cats and kittens of all kinds. She minds her manners and watches her feet. She likes to follow them around and will occasionally give them kisses (which is the equivalent of a full body bath for the kittens). Any spicy cats? She keeps her distance and leaves them alone. In terms of other canine companions, Hera can be a little picky with the company she likes to keep. She likes to play with other dogs when given the chance, but when she wants her space and wants to be left alone, she needs the other dogs to respect her boundaries and her space. Hera isn't the type of dog who comes up and demands attention. She's very independent and doesn't require much to keep her content. She likes to think of herself as a guard dog, and when given the option between sleeping in bed vs near the front door, she prefers the front door to keep an eye on everyone. She has a habit of barking at noises outside or if she sees someone come up near her home, but besides the hefty bark she has, she isn't aggressive. She just likes to make sure that her people and her home are safe. Hera is both house and crate trained. She will come up to you and do her little "rumbling" to let you know she wants to go out. Sometimes it's just because she wants to go out and sniff around, enjoy the sunshine, and check out her surroundings. She loves to go on walks and hikes, and she sits/stays very nicely in the flatbed of a truck or Gator. Hera is currently our longest dog resident, and we are all genuinely scratching our heads trying to figure out why. What's not to love about this calm, well-behaved, absolute sweetheart of a dog? If you're looking for a new member to add into your family, come in and meet Hera today. 🐾
