My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hey there, I`m Hershey! I`m a young, friendly, and playful dude. My sense of humor? Well, I`m the dog who tried to bury a bone in a concrete floor - talk about a hard day`s work! I ended up here at the shelter after a hilarious mix-up. I mistook a mailman for my old buddy, Posty. Long story short, Posty wore a uniform too, but he delivered pizzas, not letters! Now, I`m looking for a new family who can appreciate my fun-loving spirit and maybe, just maybe, has a yard with actual dirt. Adopt me, let`s make memories!
