Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin! If you've dreamed of a dog who is both beautiful and loving, you're in luck—Hershey is a two-year-old Australian Shepherd mix with a show-stopping chocolate merle coat that makes an impression wherever she goes. Athletic yet gentle, she weighs in at 52 pounds and has decided that, lap dog or not, snuggling is her favorite way to spend time with her people. Hershey is fully housetrained, quietly crate-trained, and walks nicely on a leash. She enjoys car rides and knows how to sit, plus she’s a fan of fetch and playful zoomies in a securely fenced yard. Hershey warms up quickly to new people and, once comfortable, offers warmth and affection to everyone—she’s recently shared her sweetness with a baby, displaying the careful gentleness that makes her so special. Having lost an eye, she’s adjusted perfectly and it hasn’t diminished her confidence or activity at all. Hershey is alert and has a watchdog bark for visitors, making her a vigilant presence at home. She would do best in a quieter, rural environment away from loud noises, especially since her sensitive ears appreciate a calm setting. Hershey gets along well with other dogs and cats but isn’t suited for a home with goats or cattle. She’s ready for daily walks, a fenced yard, and a family to give her all the cuddles she deserves. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
