About Herc

Herc is a big, lovable boy seeking a forever home. He came to us as an unclaimed stray, so we’re unsure of his past, but we estimate he’s around 2 years old and could be a mix of Great Pyrenees and Saint Bernard. At about 100 pounds, he has a gentle giant spirit with a playful side that loves interacting with people. Herc already knows how to sit nicely, showcasing his potential for training. He’s still figuring out how to interact with other dogs, so any canine buddies should meet him first to ensure a good match. Recently neutered, Herc is taking steps to get comfortable with new friends, and he would thrive in a home that understands the importance of patience during this adjustment. A spacious environment where he can run, explore, and continue to learn would be ideal for him. Could Herc be the missing piece your family needs? Interested in meeting Herc?
