My Pet's Story
Hercules (formerly known as Turbo), may be tiny, but those ears sure are mighty! Weighing in at a wopping 6.5lbs he's the perfect companion for all our land, air & sea travels!
Countless website searches & a few visits to shelters, I was thumbing through my Facebook feed one day when I saw my friend's post sharing info on 2 large dogs at APR. These 2 were beautiful, but too big for what we wanted. I decided to click & look at what else the shelter had to offer. Towards the end of their adoptable dogs page… this guy’s ears called out to me!
I frantically reached out to APR to see if “Turbo” was still available. He was!! I went to visit him to be sure his personality would be a match and it was, he was the perfect gentleman. I submitted an app & had my son and fiancé visit him a couple days later. Everyone agreed, he was perfect! We never saw ourselves with a chihuahua but, here we are!
The next day we picked our our first RV & have already had our first adventure with it locally. Hercules enjoys tagging along with us on our adventures which in only 2 months includes yachts, beaches, pools, a plane trip to New York City & coming up a road trip in the RV to SCarolina to experience the total solar eclipse! He loves the dog park & enjoys rolling around in the sand. He dreams of catching the squirrels that taunt him.
The power of social media is real! If you see something that resonates with you, a cause for good you believe in, help spread the word! It may not be for you, but you may be changing the life of someone in your network.
