My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Hercules! This sweet boy was once used for back yard breeding his entire young life. One day he escaped along with his mate and they were put on the euthanasia list. After almost a year with us, Hercules finally found an adopter where he lived the dream life he'd never had. Unfortunately, after a few months he was returned due to a change in their family dynamic. At first he was so nervous and scared and had no clue why he lost his home again. Hercules doesn't understand and we don't know how to tell him it's not because he isn't wonderful and sweet and worth the extra work, it just wasn't a right fit.

Hercules needs a home with a dog-smart adopter. He previously had a long year of waiting, and now he is waiting again but we promise with all our heart he is worth it. Hercules lives up to his name, he is strong but his heart is pure. He is loving and kind and will protect you from all bugs (as chasing them is his favorite past time), he will make sure you are never bored and never without snuggles. He will do absolutely anything for his red rocket toys, they are his favorite thing in the world. He is working hard to make new doggie friends and has actually done super well with Butterball, a female pitty.

Hercules can sometimes be slow to warm up to men. However for a while, he was very bonded to a male volunteer who even took him on a week-long semi truck tour across the state! He did so great and loved the personal attention. He is a true explorer, loves the wilderness and going on walks, he will pause to listen to the nature and take in the sights.

More about this rescue

The mission of Always & Furever Midwest Animal Sanctuary is to provide our senior furry friends a home in a loving, healthy living room setting. Here they can comfortably live out their lives, be they measured in weeks, months or years. We will help any animal that is last left on the euthanasia list - no matter how sick or old they are. We strive to appreciate every day with these animals as if its our last and make sure their time waiting for a furever home is just as loved as if they were already home.
