Say hello to Hercules!
He may be one of the newest members of our team, but Hercules is already making a big impact. Born in November 2024, a friendly Black Labrador Retriever he is specially trained to provide comfort, support, and a sense of safety to children and families during some of life's most difficult moments.
Hercules is more than just an adorable canine advocate. He is a confidence-builder, stress-reliever, loyal companion, and comforting presence. Whether he's offering a gentle nuzzle, sitting quietly by a child's side, or bringing a smile to someone's face, Hercules has a special way of helping people feel safe, seen, and supported.
As Voices for Children Advocacy Center's Canine Advocate, Hercules accompanies children throughout their journey at the Center, including forensic interviews, therapy services, court proceedings, medical exams, and community events. His calming presence helps children feel more at ease and reminds them they are not alone.
Be sure to say hello to Hercules when you visit Voices for Children. We have a feeling you'll become a fan just as quickly as we have!
