Hera

Meet Hera, a goddess of the 4-legged variety. If you are looking for a companion who can be both lazy and up for a good hike, who loves food, sunbathing, and splashing in the pool, and who is fully house-trained, Hera might be for you. This big lady has the smoothest fur, a velvety head, tons of freckles and a few surprise tufts of fluff that make pets just the very best! Hera takes some time to make new friends, but once you are part of her inner circle, she will bathe your face in kisses. Like a literal bath! Because she needs time to warm up to new people, Hera would do best in and adult-only home. Hera would also prefer to be your one and only dog - she would like all of the snuggles, please! My favorite things: Being outside! Treats! Cream cheese and chicken are my favorite, but, let's be real, I'll eat almost anything. Watching out the living room window Long walks Booty scratches (once we a friends) Sleeping in a human bed Cues that I know: Sit, down Touch Place/Relaxation Working on muzzle training Loose leash walking Scratch (for keeping my front nails short with a scratch board) How am I doing in foster? "Hera is a bundle of joy and personality. She fits in perfectly to my routine as it's just her and me! That is where Hera thrives. She likes it when her close human friends come over to visit but prefers a quiet home. We go multiple times a week to the forest preserve, and she loves all the sniffs! She may try to chase a squirrel or two but can be redirected with treats. She also loves my fenced yard and having some independence when outside. I have been helping Hera prepare for her forever home by teaching her manners when people enter the house. You are in for a wonderful dog, if you pick Hera" -Hera's foster mom Hera is an All-Star dog! Her adoption appointment includes a discussion with our Training Team, and she will go home with her very own no pull-harness and a few enrichment goodies to help get her off to a good start! To schedule an appointment to meet Hera, email [email protected] (please include your name and phone number), and the staff will be happy to help you! Our dogs and puppies go home spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (6 months and over), and up to date on core vaccines, heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Their adoption also includes a free-vet exam at one of our participating veterinarians.
