About Hephaestus

Meet Hephaestus! Hephaestus is the smallest and most timid of his litter, which is why he carries such a grand name. This little guy thrives on attention and finds his happiest moments during one-on-one time with his people. He might need a bit of extra patience to build his confidence, but he is incredibly sweet and enjoys being adored. Born in a rural shelter, Hephaestus came to his foster home at just five days old, alongside his mom. He is currently receiving rounds of puppy vaccinations and will be microchipped and neutered once he is old enough. If you're on the lookout for a gentle pup, Hephaestus is a wonderful choice.
