Meet Hercules!

If you’re looking for a best friend, Hercules just might be your guy! This adorable Aussie/Border Collie mix loves cuddles, snuggling by your side, and giving plenty of kisses.

Hercules enjoys playing with his big canine brothers and does well around kids. He’s doing great with potty training and even lets you know when it’s time to go outside!

He’s still working on crate training and isn’t a fan of being alone, so his forever family will need to be patient and understanding. Hercules is expected to be around 40 pounds full grown and will thrive in an active home ready for lots of love, playtime, and adventure.

Could Hercules be your new best friend?

Please keep in mind there are many factors to consider when choosing the right match for a puppy, so an application cannot guarantee adoption. Nor do we work on a 'first come first served' basis, but rather strive to find the best match for the personality of each dog. At the time of adoption, the puppy will be current on vaccinations and deworming. He or she will come with a pre-scheduled appointment at our vet to be spayed or neutered that the adopter is obligated to keep. The puppy will also be microchipped at this time. Please consider the time and effort it takes to raise a puppy. Foster puppies are typically NOT potty trained. They require time and patience from their adopter. If you are NOT serious about adoption and have not discussed the possiblility of adding a new canine to your home with ALL live in family members, DO NOT APPLY. Volunteers spend countless hours reviewing applications, calling references, and scheduling home visits. Please be sure you are ready to add a puppy to your home BEFORE applying. Our puppy adoption fee is $400 plus a $50 training deposit, which is refunded to the adopter when he or she provides proof of having completed a basic obedience class with their puppy. As part of our adoption process, references both personal and veterinarian will be checked. Sadie's also requires a home visit before we adopt any of our dogs out; therefore we only adopt to our local WNY region.
