Hershey's Story

ABOUT: HERSHEY<br/>Sweet, happy Hershey girl is waiting to join your family! Hershey originally came to us in 2023 from one of our shelter partners when they no longer had space for her. She was quickly adopted into a loving home, but then in 2026, her owners sadly had to return her due to housing issues. <br/><br/>Despite this, Hershey has maintained her loving and bubbly attitude! At 5-years-and-4-months-old, she has mastered 'sit' and is always eager to show off her smarts. She enjoys spending time with people, other dogs, and even lived with a cat! She has become a volunteer favorite from participating in our Doggy Day Out Program, here's what they had to say about her: <br/><br/>Hershey is so calm and gentle. We went to petsmart to smell the smells pick out some treats and toys, to our surprise she was very very active and excited to explore petsmart. Her favorite part was by far watching the Guinea pigs through the glass. She would sit there ears perked, watching curiously. No barking, no aggression, just pure curiosity and amusement! She was picky with treats but we found if you give her smaller pieces of the treat first rather than the whole thing at once she would warm up to the treats. She said hi to everyone and anyone willing, you can tell she loves to attention in short spurts. We then went to Starbucks where she enjoyed her pup cup in a very dainty manner. She is the most delicate pupper ever with nothing but love to give and a curiosity that is very amusing. -Hannah<br/><br/>She walks really well on the leash. She got distracted by squirrels but was easily redirected. She was friendly to everyone that stopped to say hello but she never pulled to try to get to people. After the park we went to hang out at home. She seemed really excited to come in the house and immediately started zooming! She loves playing tug so we did that for quite awhile. She wasn't interested in dog treats and pretty much scoffed at the carrot I offered her. She did LOVE the cheese I gave her. She knows how to sit and I was trying to figure out if she knew anything else but I think the cheese got her too amped up lol. We spent some time cuddling on the couch and she is such a love bug. She wants to be pressed up against you or have her tummy in the air getting belly rubs. She's such a great dog. She has lots of energy to run and play but can also switch over to little spoon in an instant! -Robin
