Hi, I'm Hercules, and these photos REALLY just don't do me justice. I have the cutest big, round, eyes, floppy little ears, a wrinkled nose, and a round Santa style belly with lots of loose skin everywhere, plus I'm a beautiful butterscotch color and red-nosed. I'm about 4 mos. old now and weigh a whopping 25+ lbs.. so I'm destined to be a BIG boy :)
I was turned in to the San Antonio pound by my owners, who we think bred me but couldn't sell me. When I first came to the pound, I could barely walk, and then I got much worse. Even the vets weren't sure they could save me, but my foster mom named me Hercules and told everyone I was going to 'go from Zero to Hero' as the Disney movie says. Well, with the vets' help and my foster mom's determination and loving care, I've done just that! I'm now a wonderfully healthy pup with a great personality -- one of the best American Bulldogs ever!
Please check out our special policies for adopting 'power breeds' as I'm going to be a big, strong dog some day.
*** ADOPTION PROCESS:***
First, please check out our General Adoption Policies at www.HoundHaven.PetFinder.Com.
Then, if you are interested in adopting one of our babies, please contact us at HoundRescue@TGTi.Net for more information or to request an Adoption Application.
Once we have reviewed your application, we will contact you to set up a home visit if we feel placement is a possibility. At the home visit, we will bring the requested pet to your house or other pre-arranged meeting place to determine if you might be a good 'fit' for each other. If we all agree an adoption is in everyone's best interest, we will make further arrangements at that time.
Please note that, although we do our best with age estimation and breed identification, we are almost always hampered by lack of definitive information. We attempt to note which pets are 'mixes' vs. those that may be purebred and to accurately indicate age, but, due to the nature of rescue, we cannot guarantee any pet's information to be other than our best guess at the time. We sometimes update / change our postings due to better information / additional expertise and apologize if this confuses anyone. If you believe we have misposted a pet or have an alternative suggestion for a pet's breed identification, please let us know and we'll gladly consider updating our data.
Also please note that, because we are an informal group of private fosters and not an incorporated rescue organization, we do not have a physical shelter for you to visit nor do we give out our home addresses or other personal information.
MANY THANKS for your interest, and we wish you the best in your search for your new family member!
