My story

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

 

Hercules is looking for someone to be their hero.  This 3 year old 170 pound Bull Mastiff is massive and definitely the size of a small pony.  He is a lazy, affectionate big OOF that needs someone bigger and stronger than him to make him their sidekick in life. Hercules needs to be introduced slowly to other dogs. He has never been socialized with other dogs and deserves that chance.

For years Hercules had lived with his sister until his owner could no longer care for him or the sister. He and his sister would drop off at the owners parents and told I don't know that he's good with other dogs even though he never tried him. The sister was easily adopted but alas Hercules was labeled with no real testing. Critter Calvary in trying to help this boy find a new home has stepped up and gotten a trainer to go over there and he said all Hercules wanted to do was excitedly meet the other dog and play. He's goofy and he's a little clumsy and he needs some training. He's not great on a leash but he's not terrible. Hercules needs a chance in life and not to be assumed that he's bad in any way because his heart is golden. His efforts will be a little clumsy but someone give this boy a chance to be inside the house and loved and going for walks and being given the trust that his heart is a good one. And an accepting one. We will require that others to adopt him will take him to training and getting polished into the smooth and gentle giant that he is.  Please someone give Hercules a chance to be loved and not parked in a fenced backyard.

 

He is housebroken, crate trained and he is not destructive in the house.  This boy will make you laugh, make you want to protect him (even though he is big) and he will love you unconditionally and who in the world would ever break in to your home!?  Goodness they would be insane.   This boy loves people though….but if you don’t know him then he could be a nice guardian.

 

A fenced yard would be the perfect environment for everyone.  If you qualify, then please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com
