Hercules

Calling all Mastiff lovers! Meet Hunky Hercules! This brindled boy came to us as a cold, shivering stray back in the bitter month of February. At the time, he was really shut down and unsure of new people. To everyone's surprise, no one came looking for this big scared puppy. Months later and here we are! Hercules is a big, giant goofball and a huge favorite of the shelter staff. Although he still has a shy side, he's a very happy and playful pup. One of his favorite things to do is to chase the tennis ball out back and show off how fast he can run. Through the day, Hercules keeps a clean kennel and understands the routine of going outside. He will likely need a little brushing up on house-training when adjusting to his new home. He is very toy and treat motivated and with some guidance he should catch onto new things fairly quick. Introductions to other dogs should be done at a slow and steady pace. Hercules does tend to get pretty worked up with some of the more intense dogs here at the shelter. He doesn't seem to mind the calmer female dogs. He is NOT a good it for a home with cats! And due to his large size and timid nature, we advise that he goes to a home with older children. Hercules is a sweet pup and we are sad to see him get looked over so often! We feel as though he would thrive in a home with breed experience or someone willing to do their homework on the Cane Corso breed. **Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention.
