PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.

9/29/14 Hercules is a sweet boy. He came in to rescue as an owner surrender due to time constraints. He was the daughter's dog, but she left for college and couldn't take him with her, and mom didn't have time for a dog. Hercules is a beautiful, big, Great Dane mix. He is approx. 1 1/2 years old and still acts very much like a puppy. Hercules gets along well with other dogs and seems to like everyone. He was not around young children much, except the 3 year old grand son who he did fine with. But I had a friend over recently with her 8 year old daughter and he was uneasy around her. For that reason, I think he would be best in a home without young children. Young visitors is fine, as he could easily be crated or placed in a bedroom while the child is visiting. The reason Hercules is listed as urgent is because he is here at my home, where I have many foster dogs of various sizes and ages. Hercules is fine with all of them, but my own personal dogs are not friendly with new comers, so my fosters are crated and rotated into the yard for exercise/ potty time. Hercules is not adjusting well to this set up. He is very anxious being crated all the time. He wants very much to be in the house with the people. But my dogs (a mastiff and a Great Dane) will not allow it and I am afraid there would be a fight that I would not want to be in the middle of. It is just not the ideal situation for Hercules and I want so much better for him. He is totally house trained. He knows sit and shake. He is gentle and loving and can be quite comical. Hercules is probably a mixed breed, with Great Dane being the dominant breed. He is about 85-90lbs. He is a very handsome, well behaved boy. He walks well on a leash and likes to try to sit in people's laps. :) Hercules is located in Arkansas and will be transported to the northeast once adopted.
