About Hershey

Hershey just arrived from a high-intake shelter, and she's ready to find a loving home. While we're still learning about her personality, our team will assess her interactions with kids, cats, and other dogs after her vet check. For now, she’s a friendly, active dog, so she may do well in a lively home. If you're interested in bringing Hershey into your family, please fill out an adoption questionnaire. Given her new arrival, we can't hold her, but our adoption counselors will help you find the right match, even if it turns out that she's not the best fit on meeting. All household members must be present when you meet to ensure a good match, and same-day adoptions are encouraged. Hershey's adoption fee covers her spay, microchip, vaccinations, and a bag of food to get you started.
