About Hershey

Hershey was saved from a high kill shelter on his last hour!!! The low rider boy must have had a rough past...He is now thriving with our trainer and learning how to be a happy "short legged", ball retriever and strong headed little senior guy!! Hershey loves to follow his " person" that will endlessly throw the tennis ball and take him on daily energetic walks!!! Hershey might need some time to give you his trust...But when you have it...Him and his short legs will follow you to the Moon and Back!!!!!

About Dachshund Dogs

Dachshunds are bold, spirited little dogs with personalities that far exceed their size. Originally bred for hunting, these clever companions are curious, playful, and endlessly entertaining. Their unique silhouette and expressive eyes make them instantly lovable.

Adopting a Dachshund means welcoming a spunky, devoted friend into your life. They form strong attachments to their people and love being involved in everything. Their small size makes them excellent apartment dogs, but don't underestimate their big-dog attitude.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

48°F to 68°F

Dec – Feb

LA winters are ideal for French Bulldogs. Mild temperatures mean they can enjoy outdoor patios and short walks through Silver Lake and West Hollywood without overheating or getting too cold. This is their peak outdoor season.

Spring

52°F to 72°F

Mar – May

Spring in LA is comfortable for French Bulldogs, though temperatures climbing into the 70s require monitoring. Avoid inland areas on warmer days and stick to coastal neighborhoods like Santa Monica and Venice for cooler walks.

Summer

65°F to 85°F

Jun – Aug

LA summers are risky for French Bulldogs, especially inland where temperatures exceed 100°F. Stay in air-conditioned spaces during the day. Coastal areas are safer but still require caution. Wildfire smoke compounds breathing difficulty for brachycephalic breeds.
