About Hershey

Meet Hershey! This 11-month-old, 20-lb Terrier mix is packed with personality and charm. When he first arrived, Hershey was quite nervous around people, taking about a week to feel comfortable enough to accept pets from his foster. With patience and a loving environment, he's transformed into a confident, joyful companion. Hershey is a true canine enthusiast who thrives around other dogs, gaining confidence from their presence. He adores his dog siblings, happily following them around, playing, and napping together. Due to his affinity for furry friends, he would do best in a home with another friendly dog to help him continue to feel secure. While Hershey takes time to warm up to new people, he becomes incredibly sweet once he establishes trust. He enjoys cuddling, lounging on the couch, and playing fetch. However, he does need space when meeting strangers and prefers to approach on his own terms. He's relatively easygoing at home, not a nuisance barker, and gets along well with the routine of indoor life. Hershey does have a playful side and sometimes steals shoes, plus he is still honing his house-training skills, requiring a consistent schedule and supervision. Hershey enjoys moderate exercise, needing about 30 minutes a day, followed by cozy downtime. He would thrive with an understanding owner who can provide a stable, loving environment while letting him build confidence at his own pace. Hershey is waiting for someone to recognize the sweet friend he is beneath his initial shyness. Ready to give him the loving home he deserves? Click apply to start the adoption process.
