About Hershey

Hershey is a lively companion who enjoys exploring his surroundings at the shelter. He may take some time to feel comfortable in a new home, but once he does, he's likely to show his true colors. Treats and toys, especially rope toys, are his favorites and would make training a fun endeavor. Hershey knows basic commands like sit and shake—he’s quite the good boy! Being a high-energy dog, he would thrive with a harness during walks. It’s recommended that he joins a mature family who understands dog body language and can help him learn boundaries. Hershey can be a linebacker-type player with his dog friends, so he’s best suited for rough-and-tumble playmates. It's essential to meet any resident dogs before adopting him. This pet qualifies for the 7-day Foster-to-Adopt program. If you’re considering fostering then adopting, reach out for more information. Let’s find Hershey the loving home he deserves!
