HERCULES

Hercules and Teddy are a dynamic duo! With this bonded pair, you get the best of both worlds! Hercules, a 9 year old chihuahua, is curious and energetic. He loves to run around and will cuddle up with you right away. Teddy, a 9 year old terrier mix, takes a bit more time to warm up and is slightly lower energy. He is shy and loving and very well-behaved, he comes when called and sits on command. Teddy and Hercules love walks and are active but also do well on quiet days comfortably inside, enjoying curling up on the bed or couch. They are house trained, and will signal to you when they'd like to go outside/need to be walked once they've settled into a routine. They both have great appetites and eat well, Hercules does not have teeth so wet food is ideal for him. While Hercules and Teddy are truly bonded, Teddy has shown signs of resource guarding so it’s important to ensure they each have separate food and water bowls and eat separately at meal time. Both Teddy and Hercules respond well to redirection and get along well as long as each has their own space specifically around food. After ensuring separation around food and positive reinforcement with treats Teddy's resource guarding has improved in his foster home. They both do well with cats and have been friendly to other dogs on walks, showing no reactivity. They are wonderful and sweet dogs on their own, and together they are even better. Teddy and Hercules would make a wonderful addition to any family looking for a sweet, loving pair of brothers who will bring joy and love into your home with their fun dynamic and individual personalities.
