Meet our Dog of the Week, Hades

Meet our Dog of the Week, Hades!

The Underworld has a new manager, and he has to be carried over the baby gate.

Hades is 3-4 years old and is 7lbs of Chihuahua adorableness operating under a name with SIGNIFICANT legal implications. We named this tiny man after the Lord of the Underworld and now have to conduct his adoption like this is normal.

Look at that tiny face and tell us he isn’t about to pitch you an extremely questionable deal involving your immortal soul and half a rotisserie chicken. 

“Babe. Love ya. Mean it. Pick me up. We’ve got a hostile takeover at 3 and I cannot reach the door handle.”

Disney gave us blue flames, an elaborate plot to overthrow Mount Olympus and a villain with the energy of a Hollywood agent having a breakdown in traffic. We have a little dog you could weigh on a kitchen scale. THE PROPHECY DID NOT PREPARE US FOR THIS.

Please understand the opportunity before you. You could stand in your yard wearing pajama pants yelling, “HADES, GO POTTY,” while your neighbors quietly reconsider everything they know about you. You could call your veterinarian and say, “The Lord of the Dead needs his nails trimmed.” You could leave a party early because “Hades is waiting for me” and simply refuse to elaborate.

Underneath the dramatic name is an impossibly cute little dog who needs a family of his own. Someone to love him, spoil him and eventually say “that’s my little Lord of Darkness” in a baby voice that permanently damages their reputation. 

The Underworld is temporarily closed. Its manager is being kissed on his tiny little head. Hades is neutered and up to date on vaccinations.

The Heart of RI has adoption hours every Tuesday 2 p.m. – 6 p.m., Wednesday 3 p.m. – 7 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at 44 Worthington Road, Cranston, Rhode Island. 

You can also apply online by clicking the link in their Instagram bio: @heartofri – All policies, procedures, fees and other adoptable animals are always listed at HeartofRI.org.

NOTE: What’s going on in Rhode Island is not responsible for Hades and we do not have further information on him.
