More about Hercules

LOCATION: Pittsburgh, PADOB: 08/26/2022Meet Hercules, a stunning Great Dane with a heart full of charm and a personality that fills the whole room. This big, lovable guy is the definition of a gentle giant — affectionate, loyal, and happiest when he’s right next to his favorite person. He’s completely housebroken, crate-trained, and loves nothing more than curling up close for a good snuggle after a day of play.Herc is a dog who knows what he wants — attention, belly rubs, and more rubs after that! He’s an affectionate goofball who leans on you (literally) for love and will gently nudge his way into your space just to remind you he’s there. He has a funny way of rubbing against you like a cat and will even try to curl up beside you like one, despite his impressive size.He’s a total ladies’ man and wins over every woman he meets with his sweet, loving nature. Men take a little more time to earn his trust, but once they do, Herc’s loyalty is unwavering. He’s protective in a comforting way — once you’re “his person,” he’ll make sure you always feel safe.Herc has a confident, dominant streak, so he’s looking for a home where he can be the only dog or the top dog in the house. He enjoys calm walks on familiar routes, playing fetch with his favorite tennis ball, and a spirited game of tug-of-war with his rope. He has a moderate energy level — enough enthusiasm for playtime, but he’s also great at settling down when it’s time to relax. A backyard is plenty for him to get the exercise and sunshine he loves.This big boy is expressive and talkative, especially when he’s excited or unsure. He’ll bark to let you know how he’s feeling, but it all comes from a place of protectiveness and wanting to understand what’s going on around him. Once he feels safe, his goofy, affectionate self shines through. He loves his routine, enjoys a good walk, and might even try to steal your spot on the couch when it’s movie time.Because of his protective nature and strong personality, Herc needs a home without children and with an adopter who has experience with large breeds. He’ll thrive in a calm, low-traffic environment where he can relax and feel secure. His ideal person will have the confidence to handle a big dog and the patience to give him the structure and love he deserves.At the end of the day, Hercules is a giant lovebug who just wants to be close to his person, soak up affection, and enjoy the simple things in life — sunshine, snuggles, and a good tennis ball. Once he trusts you, he’s yours forever — a loyal, loving companion who will fill your home with warmth and a lot of personality.========================= To apply to adopt me, please fill out the application form! https://form.jotform.com/51994996709176 .Note: SRGDRR adopts nationwide and offers transport options to help you find your perfect match!
