Hercules is a charming Chihuahua mix with a big personality packed into his tiny 10-pound frame. This sweetheart is full of energy, love, and plenty of amusing antics that are sure to bring laughter into your home. Whether its his mini-Yoda ears sticking out when he runs or his penchant for dressing up and posing for photos, Hercules is a true character who will steal your heart.

Hercules takes a little time to warm up, but once he does, hes your loyal companionhappy to be by your side, at your feet, or snuggled in your arms. Hes great with kids, having lived with young children before, and gets along well with other dogs, especially those who are submissive or enjoy a good chase. His medium energy level means hes always up for a walk, playtime, or even a shopping trip, but he also loves to relax and bond with his people.

Due to his small size, a home without large dogs or very young children would be ideal. Hercules may get startled by unfamiliar noises, but with a patient and loving owner, hell quickly gain confidence.

If youre looking for a playful, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining addition to your family, Hercules is the perfect pup to fill your life with joy!

Additional adoption info

R.E.B.E.L Dog Rescue is looking for committed adopters, ready to bring a rescue dog into their life. In order to ensure that we find the best homes for our dogs, adoption applicants must go through an adoption approval process. We receive a number of applications for each dog and only one will be chosen as the successful candidate. Candidates are selected based on the dog's needs. Not being selected for the dog that you applied for does not disqualify you from adopting from us in the future.

Go meet their pets

We do our very best to place our dogs into adoptive homes before they arrive into Canada. This ensures that they have a safe and loving place to go after their long journey up North. All dogs adopted through R.E.B.E.L Dog Rescue will receive a 15 day adoption probation period. This period starts the day the dog enters the care of the adopter. This means that the adoptive family has 15 days to determine that dog is a good fit for them. Although it may feel scary to not meet the dog before adopting, the 15 day period allows you to get to know the dog within your home. If you buy a dog off of Kijiji or at a local shelter you may be given a couple hours to meet the dog. We believe that our program's 15 day probation provides much more insight into how he or she will fit into your home, rather than. a brief meet and greet.

More about this rescue

R.E.B.E.L Dog Rescue was founded in 2020 by a small group of young women with one thing is common: a love for dogs. Since establishment, RDR has successfully found forever homed for over 700 dogs. Our mission is to rescue dogs in dire situations and give them a second chance at life through education and empowerment. All of our dogs come the streets and shelters across Texas, where they are experiencing a dog overpopulation crisis. Our team has travelled to the State to see first-hand how we can help and make a difference in the lives of animals.
R.E.B.E.L stands for: rescue, educate, believe, empower and love dogs. We live by these words every day and encourage the dog-loving community to follow suit!
