Hershey's Story

• Name: Hershey (Hershel when he is naughty) <br/>• Male or female? Male<br/>• Approximate Age: approx 1 yr old <br/>• Breed: Chinese Shar-pei and Shiba Inu mix <br/>• Weight: 30ish <br/>• Any impairments: none <br/>• Potty trained? No, but doing great with training. Wears a belly band in the house. <br/>• Crate trained? Yes, LOVES his crate and very clean in it. <br/>• Good with other dogs? Yes, loves to play and be near them <br/>• Good with cats? Ignores them <br/>• Good with kids? Older kids <br/>• Needs fenced in yard? Yes or a patient adopter to work on leash walks for potty time. <br/>• Need another dog in the home? No<br/>• Location: Counce, TN<br/>• Energy level (high/med/low)? med <br/><br/>Bio:<br/>Meet Hershey! ??<br/>Hershey is a 1-year-old neutered male with the sweetest mix of Chinese Shar-Pei and Shiba Inu. His start in life was tough—he spent his first 6 months in a crowded, filthy home with around 20 other dogs. Understandably, he missed out on early socialization and came to us unsure of the world around him.<br/><br/>In the 6 months he’s been in foster care, Hershey has blossomed. While he can still be cautious in new situations, it only takes him a few minutes to warm up. Once he does, he’s affectionate, loving, and eager for attention. Hershey has also made great progress with leash manners and continues to improve every day.<br/><br/>He would thrive in a quieter home with adults or older children who can give him patience and consistency as he continues to gain confidence. Hershey loves other dogs and would enjoy having a canine friend to show him the ropes—but it’s not a requirement.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a gentle, resilient pup who’s ready to keep learning and shower you with love, Hershey may be the perfect match for you. ??<br/><br/>***PLEASE READ*** WE DO NOT RESPOND TO PETFINDER OR EMAIL INQUIRIES.

Speak for the Unspoken's Adoption Policy
Before completing our online application please read the following: Our adoption process involves multiple steps and it typically takes up to 2 weeks from the time we receive your application to the time your adoption is finalized. We reserve the right to deny any application without explanation. All of our dogs and/or puppies are in foster homes. We do not schedule “Meet and Greets” without an approved application. Our Adoption Fees start at $325 per dog, $75 per cat or kitten. We can adopt an animal ‘out of state’, but you must be willing to travel to where the pet is being fostered, and transport the animal yourself after the adoption. If you have other animals (dogs/cats) in your home, they must be up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm testing and prevention (dogs), and spayed/neutered. We will verify this with your veterinarian. If your animals are not up to date, your application will be denied. Please make sure to fully complete your application; leaving questions blank or not including all requested information will delay your application. Once your online application is submitted, it can take our volunteers 5 to 7 business days to process it. If we have questions about your application, we will email you. Please make sure to add our email, adopt@speakfortheunspoken.com to your email so our messages do not end up in your spam folder! Once your application is approved by the processors, it is sent to the person fostering the dog you have applied for. They will make the decision on whether the animal that you applied for is the right fit for you and your home. They may also choose to initially contact you via email or phone. If you do not respond promptly to their email or phone call, they will move on to the next applicant. Your application will be saved on file for 1 year and will be used for all dogs you would be interested in that time-frame. No need to keep filling out applications! Adoption application approval means you are approved to adopt an animal from us, it does not mean you are necessarily approved for the animal you applied for. There may be specific circumstances in your home that do not make it a good fit for one animal, but it may be a fine fit for another.
