Hershey was surrendered when her owner had to move and could not take her along. Hershey is calm, quiet, and very low maintenance. She keeps her kennel clean and is happiest parked on a soft bed or right in your lap. She is definitely a lap dog! She loves playing with her squeaky ball and her stuffed Lamb Chop toy. She does not go looking for entertainment and is content just being near her person and relaxing.She can be a little shy in new environments and does not enjoy a lot of commotion. She may get nippy if someone tries to pick her up, so she needs a home that respects her space and lets her come to people on her own terms. Once she settles in, she is affectionate and will happily become your shadow.Hershey is leash trained, crate trained, and potty trained. She is very skittish outside and will need slow, patient introductions to new outdoor environments. She also really dislikes wearing a halter when outside, so her future home should be prepared to work with her gently and help build her confidence over time.Hershey loves treats and will always show up when food is involved. She would do best on a structured diet to help her get to a healthier weight. She can be protective of her food and toys. She is currently learning to play fetch - she enthusiastically chases after the ball but has not quite figured out bringing it back yet! She also enjoys sitting by the patio door and barking at bunnies and squirrels.She does not need another dog and is perfectly fine on her own. She has lived with kids before, but she would do best in a calm, low-traffic home without a lot going on. Hershey is an easy companion for someone looking for a quiet, steady presence and a dedicated lap dog.
