Meet Hercules, a sweet and snuggly eleven-year-old American Pitbull Terrier from Clearwater, FL, whose gentle heart and playful spirit make him an absolute joy to be around. Despite being a senior, Hercules is far from slowing down—this medium-sized, 60-pound cuddle bug still has plenty of life and love to give!
With his handsome tan coat and warm, soulful eyes, Hercules is the definition of a loyal companion. His favorite activities include running around outside, chewing on his beloved toys and ropes, and most of all, soaking up as many cuddles as he can get! This affectionate guy adores being close to his people, whether it’s relaxing on the couch or enjoying a sunny day in the yard.
Hercules is a pro at the basics, knowing commands like “Sit,” “Stay,” “Come,” “Lay Down,” “Eat,” and “Go Outside.” He’s house-trained, neutered, and has no problem being left alone for short periods—he’ll patiently wait for you to come back without any fuss. Hercules doesn’t have any specific triggers that cause stress or anxiety, making him a calm and adaptable companion in most situations.
Although Hercules isn’t a fan of other dogs and should be the only pup in the household, he’s fantastic with people of all ages, including newborns. His gentle, happy nature makes him especially great with young children, and his love for snuggling means he’ll be your little one’s loyal buddy during story time or movie night. While his experience with cats is unknown, his general friendliness with humans speaks volumes about his kind-hearted disposition.
One thing to keep in mind is that Hercules does have chronic ear infections, so regular vet care and attention to his ears are important to keep him comfortable and happy. He’s also on a special diet to support his overall health, but his easygoing attitude makes feeding him a breeze!
What truly sets Hercules apart is his unwavering sweetness. No matter how his day is going, he’ll always find a way to nuzzle up and offer his love. Whether you’re playing fetch in the yard or simply enjoying a lazy afternoon, Hercules will be right by your side, spreading warmth and joy with every wag of his tail.
This lovable senior boy is looking for his next family who will appreciate his cuddly nature and embrace him as part of their home. Could that be you?
