Biography:   Hercules was surrendered to the Ouachita Parish Animal Shelter because they had a baby in the home and Hercules did not like the baby.  This is not uncommon for small dogs and the reason we wont rehome our dogs to homes with babies or small children.   He was very cautious at the shelter and as a result, they would only let him go to a rescue.  He also had some skin issues that needed to be addressed.  We were tagged in his photo on Facebook.  We went to meet him at the shelter and while he was cautious with us as well, we decided to take a chance on him and we are so glad we did.  What a joy he is!!  He quickly warmed up to Ninna on the transport back from Monroe... moving from the passenger seat minding his own business... to the center console... to her lap.  He walks great on a leash and he actually would wonderful for someone that jogs.  He loves it!  He does fine in a kennel and does well with the other dogs.  Hes going to make someone very happy for many more years to come. 
**IMPORTANT NOTES** 
*All of our adoptable dogs are small, and they are never to be left outside alone, ever!  We only rehome our dogs to adopters that plan to have them as inside dogs and part of the family!   We do allow adopters with doggie doors, provided there is SECURE fencing.  There is no exception to this rule!  
*NO SMALL CHILDREN!!  As with almost all the dogs at NR2R, young children or a very active household is not recommended.   Many of our dogs come to us BECAUSE of small children, thus we do not rehome our dogs to homes with babies or young children.  KEEP THIS IN MIND IF YOU HAVE VISITING GRANDCHILDREN AS WELL!  Even if the children are older, it would depend on the child AND the parent or parents. 
*HOUSETRAINING:  We do NOT guarantee that any of our adoptable dogs are housetrained.   While most should be easily trained, keep in mind that they live in a rescue where they have access to the outdoors all day and are inside at night.  Even if they were surrendered to us as housetrained, it doesnt mean they will automatically be housetrained in your home.  Housetraining them should be easy in the right home with time, patience, and consistency. 
*We do not guarantee the age, health or temperament of any of the dogs we rehome.  Many of the dogs we take in come from animal control and rarely do we have histories and even when we do, many times the histories are inaccurate.
*Only adopters with a responsible dog ownership history and excellent vet reference need apply.   If you bring this pet into your heart and home, you will receive in return many years of love, companionship, and loyalty.  Thats our guarantee.
Other notes:  This pet is available for adoption through Ninnas Road to Rescue, Benton, La.  We are 501c3 non-profit organization.  Our mission is to rescue small-breed dogs and a handful of cats and to re-home them into RESPONSIBLE and CARING forever homes.    DOG APPLICATION LINK:   /dog-application
