The many faces of Hercules. Who is Hercules (#A1740823)? An older gent. A stud muffin. A good olde fashion senior boy. His motto: "I can be a puppy for 10 seconds." He is estimated to be a 10 year old mastiff, but he proves age is only a number and dogs just get better with age. He may be the new boy in the SLA animal shelter scene but we hope he won't be here very long. So come down to the @southla_animalshelter to meet him! And if you can then please share and repost so Hercules can find his forever home. #dogsofinstagram, #mastiffsofinstagram, #mastifflovers, #nkla, #adoptdontshop, #seniordogsofinstagram, #seniordogsrule, #seniordog (at South Los Angeles, California)

This boy, with his incessant licking and bed hogging ways is magic. He makes me feel like most special person in the world. We don't need grand gestures to know what we mean to each other. Lately I felt like I wasn't being the person he needs because I couldn't take him out on walks or hikes. He started coming over to me while I read or worked on something and just lay next to me. And I knew that was enough. I was enough. ❤️ #happynationaldogday (at South Los Angeles, California)

#adoptme Frankie is a very special boy. With model good looks you think this guy would have landed himself his forever home a long time ago. When he first came to my home, Frankie suffered from seizures and I wasn't sure if he was gonna make it. Thanks to the dedication of @straycatalliance and the correct medication Frankie is a thriving kitten who spends his days posing for the camera and playing with my cat and dogs. If you or someone you know is interested in adopting Frankie, please get in touch with @straycatalliance. #foster, #kittenpower, #magickitty, #orangetabby, #kittensofinstagram, #catsofinstragram, #adoptdontshop (at South Los Angeles, California)

This gorgeous boy is Blackie (#A0796143). He's a 12 year old Rottweiler/Doberman Pincher gentleman. He unfortunately ended up at the South LA shelter because his owner passed away. He is described by volunteers to be a super sweet, low energy boy. His owner surrender notes also state he is good with people, children and other dogs. If you saw the video posted you'll also see that he is non-reactive when passing through the dog kennels. If you interested in Blackie head over to the South LA Shelter. If you wanna help, please repost. It saves lives! #seniordogsofinstagram, #dogsofinstagram, #adoptdontshop, #fosteringsaveslives, #rottwieler, #doberman (at Friends of South Los Angeles Animal Shelter)
