Hero

My story

HeroMaleAge: 3 yearsWeight: 65 lbsBreed: Bulldog/Lab MixTrial Adoption Eligible Hey, I’m Hero — but around my foster home, I also answer to Sweet Boy, Short King, Hot Dog, and Piggie. I wear them all with pride. I’m about three years old, recently cleared of heartworm (yay me!), and finally learning how to just be a dog. It’s been a journey, but I’m figuring it out — slowly learning to trust new humans, understand other dogs, and navigate this whole “socializing” thing with my ears up and tail wagging. I am house trained and crate trained and walk well on leash. I’m a chill dude. Like, shockingly chill. I don’t get into things I shouldn’t, I respect the cats (truly, I lounge with them), and I really just want to be part of your world — preferably while holding your hand, licking peanut butter off a spoon, or sharing your morning snuggles. I’ve got a growing list of commands under my belt: sit, come, down, leave it, let’s go, and place — and I thrive on positive reinforcement (plus maybe a blueberry or two). I feel safest with gentle structure, clear boundaries, and humans who see how smart I am and keep my brain busy with puzzles, walks, training, and games. Some of my favorite things? Baseball (watching, not playing), yoga (yes, really), fenced-in backyards, long walks in any weather, lounging with my feline friends, and just being near my people. I’m not just a good boy — I’m the good boy. The kind of companion who will quietly love you with his whole heart, make you laugh every day with his dumb little underbite, and show you what it means to be truly grateful to be safe, seen, and loved. If you're looking for a ride-or-die for the next decade or so, I’m your guy. Just be warned — one look into my eyes mid-blueberry snack and you’ll never be the same. Apply to adopt Hero at www.causeforcanines.org. To help me find the perfect match, I’m eligible for Cause for Canines’ Trial Adoption Program!
