Hercules (265184) is adoptable from Queens ACC! Hercules’s Bio: https://nycacc.app/#/browse/265184 Meet Hercules, a 105-pound gentle giant with a heart just as big as his head. Despite his Herculean size, this sweet boy will roll over for belly rubs within minutes of meeting you. We don’t know much about Hercules since he was dropped off at the shelter without any information, but we do know he’s a big softie who’s ready to be someone’s hero. Could Hercules be your happily ever after? _____________________________ This Saturday, September 26th ACC is partnering with @ASPCA for a special adoption promotion at Queens Animal Care Centers, as a part of the nationwide #TheRescueEffect campaign!
