Hershey's Story

Meet Hershey, a two-and-a-half-year-old Cattle Dog/Kelpie mix weighing around 65 pounds.<br/><br/>Hershey is pure joy on four legs! This friendly, outgoing boy loves everyone he meets and can turn any moment into a celebration with his wiggly body and goofy antics. He’s enthusiastic, playful, and always ready for attention—especially if it comes with pets, scratches, or belly rubs.<br/><br/>Hershey did have his tail docked due to "happy tail," but it hasn’t slowed him down one bit. He still wiggles with excitement for every person, every toy, and every new adventure. His happiness is truly contagious!<br/><br/>This chocolate-colored bundle of fun is full of energy, love, and silly charm. He already knows "sit" and "down," is very treat-motivated, and is both smart and eager to keep learning. With his zest for life, he’d thrive in a home that can give him plenty of playtime, interaction, and continued positive training.<br/><br/>Hershey’s mission in life is simple: make you laugh, soak up your love, and bring nonstop happiness to your days. If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining companion, Hershey is ready to be your perfect partner-in-fun.<br/><br/>This pet is available for adoption on 2/20/2026 at 11:20 AM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center.
