Think you are the one? Submit an application! Meet Hershey, a handsome Chocolate Chihuahua mix weighing just 8 pounds. Hershey is fully vetted: he's current on vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, and heartworm negative for peace of mind. Although he is initially a shy little guy, Hershey warms up quickly and truly blossoms once he feels comfortable around people. He is especially good with other dogs, enjoying playtime and social activities with his canine companions. A refresher on potty training will make his transition smoother. To adopt Hershey, there are some non-negotiable requirements: you must have a securely fenced-in yard (no electric fences) and be willing to complete a home visit. Hershey is only available for adoption within the state. The rescue team will travel up to an hour from their location for in-person home visits (or opt for virtual visits if you are in supported areas with fewer applicants). Residents in Panama City and Panama City Beach should know that in-person visits are conducted on Mondays if there are two applications for the area; otherwise, a virtual home visit is offered. Safety remains a priority, so all home visits are done following CDC recommendations. Once your application is submitted and you meet the organization's requirements, they'll get in touch to schedule your home visit and ensure a great match between Hershey, you, and your household. After a successful visit and mutual agreement, you can look forward to bringing Hershey home, along with his veterinary records and care details. What is even more interesting? Hershey was born January 1st, making him a loyal and determined Capricorn — so he's sure to bring reliability and warmth to your home! Make their next chapter their best one yet.
