My story

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

Please contact foster parent at kathrynarnold1029@gmail.com

•House & crate trained
•Non-destructive
•Dog friendly
•Loves playing with toys + running around in the backyard
•Gives great kisses, loves being loved on
•Such a sweet + gentle guy
•Knows sit + down, working on bed (place) + free (release word)
•Very food motivated
•Quick learner of commands
•Velcro dog who wants to be near his humans + foster siblings
•Self-entertains with bones/toys
•Slightly pulls on leash, does great on a harness
•Highly interested in cats (not in bad way) so would need very slow intros**


Hershey has a heart full of love and a zest for life! While he may have a `HIGH PREY DRIVE,` his affectionate nature shines through in every wag of his tail. Though he would be best in a home without cats, he`s already a pro at making pals with dogs!

This sweet pup is not just a bundle of joy, but also a well-mannered companion! Fully house and crate trained, he`ll happily snuggle up in his crate or let you know when it`s time for a bathroom break. Keep an eye on your crocs, though – he has a playful streak and might just whisk them away for a game of keep away!

Whether he`s exploring new trails or showering you with kisses, this affectionate giant is happiest when he`s by your side.Always up for a romp in the yard or a cuddle session, he`s the perfect playmate for both humans and fellow canines. While he has a gentle demeanor he doesn`t quite realize his might and can have a more rough playstyle but on the submissive side and he knows just when it`s time to take a break and recharge. Plus, he`s a pro at learning new tricks and commands, especially when treats are involved!
