Story
Meet Hershey!
Age: Senior
Weight: 46lbs
Breed: Shar Pei mix
Good with: dogs and kids (not cat tested)
House trained: Yes, also wears a belly band when left alone for prolonged period of time
Crate trained: Yes
Special needs: Regular ear cleanings to avoid infections
Let’s be honest: every woman loves a good chocolate, and Hershey is the sweetest of them all!
This good boy is the most delicious mix: low key couch potato at nap time meets social butterfly when it comes to meeting new people and animals! He is currently staying in an amazing home with lots of dogs, goats, and chickens, and he has zero prey drive, so we believe he would be fine with cats, but he has not been specifically tested.
Hershey loves his human foster sisters, and could thrive in a home with kids to play with him, pet him, and share treats. He is a well- mannered gentleman, and is wonderful with other dogs, but prefers slower intros with big dogs. He will tell bigger dogs if they are too familiar too quickly, but is not mean about it. If you are looking for a co-pilot, this precious boy is your man! He is the very best on car rides and enjoys time at dog friendly places. He is a treat on leash!
The only real drawback to Hershey is that dog beds have exploded a couple times around him. He has reported that he has no idea how or why this happens, but he is so glad you’ve come home to protect him from it happening again! He does believe that the fluffy white stuffing is a beautiful holiday decor touch.
Hershey is fostered in the Cottage Grove, WI area
