My story

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

Meet Hershey

>>> HERSHEY is: Affectionate, playful, smart, brave, curious, eager to please, leash-trained, house-trained, loves toys, a lap pet & snuggle-bug, loves kisses (we call them Hershey's kisses!)

>> PLEASE VISIT www.CampCocker.com/hershey for UPDATES, and MANY MORE PHOTOS & VIDEOS of Hershey!

> Stay up to date with the latest details on *ALL* Camp Cocker Rescue dogs at www.campcocker.com - and on our social media.

HERSHEY IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!

Since the day of his rescue, Hershey’s story has been shared on Facebook and other social media, where he already has so many loving fans following him! Thank you Hershey fans! 

Hershey is an absolutely gorgeous chocolate Cocker Spaniel! He’s estimated to be about 5-6 years old and weighs 20 pounds. Check out those eyes!  

He was rescued from the North Central Shelter in a state of rear paralysis - unable to use his rear legs, or to urinate or defecate on his own. He was immediately taken to veterinary specialists where he received an MRI and back surgery, followed by an incredible extended program of multi-disciplinary post-op physical therapy! Hershey’s recovery has been remarkable! He is now able to enjoy outdoor walks and runs. And he's house-trained too! 

Hershey is a true “you can do hard things” hero! He is an amazing, very special dog, with a charming personality & dreamy eyes! He’s affectionate, smart, brave & playful - which makes him a great companion!  

>>>> IN ORDER TO SET UP HERSHEY TO THRIVE, STAY HEALTHY, AND BE THE BEST COMPANION EVER, HE WILL HAVE SOME SPECIAL NEEDS TO BE MET BY HIS FUTURE ADOPTERS:

- Hershey will always have IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease) and will always be prone to re-injury. This will require an environment that will help to prevent activities that could lead to re-injury.

- It will never be safe for Hershey to have access to stairways, or to furniture or beds that he can jump on or off.

- Though he might enjoy the company of another dog, it's important that he not be subject to jumping, wrestling, and engaging in active play with other dogs.

- Since he’s not a fan of loud or unexpected noises, Hershey should be in a quiet home with no children, and probably no cats. 

- Hershey's ideal home will be a house with a yard, in a neighborhood that’s not excessively noisy.

>>>> Before submitting your application, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU VISIT HIS WEB PAGE, AND READ HIS *ENTIRE* bio to LEARN ABOUT HERSHEY'S NEEDS - AND HOW CAMP COCKER CAN HELP! Hershey's web page can be found at www.campcocker.com/hershey

- After reviewing Hershey's web page, learn more about our adoption process at www.campcocker.com/adoptionprocess 

Hershey is being fostered in Southern California.

THANK YOU FOR GIVING SHELTER & RESCUE DOGS A CHANCE!
