My story

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

Hershey was found at the pound covered in ticks and had a bad fur/skin condition. He is recovering nicely but needs a medicated bath for his skin every other day (temporarily). He seems to enjoy it! Hershey is the perfect name for this guy - you could not find a sweeter dog. If your hands are free, or busy, he will nudge you to let you know it's ok to pet him if you want to. He gets along great with his foster brother (9) and sister (10). He uses the doggie door and rides great in the car. He's great with older kids (10 and 14) but hasn't spent any time around little kids. We aren't sure about cats either. Hershey does great when he's home with his fur brother and sister but he's never been home alone, so we don't know how he would do on his own. He pulls a little on the leash during walks so will need to learn to settle down a little. He will chase after a tennis ball (and bunnies!) and brings them back fairly close to you. He loves to follow you around and see what you're doing.

If you are interested in this dog, please fill out an application at www.DLRRphoenix.org. Someone will call to schedule a home visit so you can become an approved adopter. Also, visit our wonderful Facebook page at www.facebook/desertlab. Thanks!
