About Hero

Hero has already won many hearts—and once you meet him, it's clear why. This cheerful young puppy greets newcomers with a wagging tail, delights in belly rubs, and enjoys playing with his toys. His gentle spirit and eagerness to please shine through in everything he does. At just 7 months old, Hero has faced challenges due to a condition affecting his spine. Recently diagnosed with a subarachnoid diverticulum, he exhibits an unusual gait and some limited control over his bowel and bladder. Although he’s making progress, it’s hard to predict how much he might improve. Hero is searching for a family willing to invest a little extra time and patience in his care. He’ll need continued potty training alongside lots of positive reinforcement. He comes with medication for his ongoing treatment, and the team at Palm Springs Animal Shelter is ready to assist his adopter with the next steps. Hero's joyful outlook on life is inspiring. He shows us that happiness isn't about being perfect; it’s about the love you give and receive. If you're ready for a special companion, Hero is eager to share his big heart with you.
