Story
Hershey had the kind of start no dog deserves. At around 10 months old, he was dumped and left to fend for himself. Lucky for him, a kind family found him that same evening, took him in, and he has been soaking up love in their foster home ever since.
Hershey is a pit mix puppy, about 45 pounds and still filling out. He is a goofy, happy adolescent who wants nothing more than all the love and all the attention, preferably at the same time. He appears to be fully potty trained and has had no accidents in his foster home. He gets along well with the other dogs there, and his neuter will be scheduled soon, which should help settle some of his rowdy teenage behavior.
About those teenage manners: Hershey is a boisterous young pup who was clearly never taught the basics, so his new family should be ready to invest in training. He is sweet, eager for attention, and wants to please, and with structure and love he is going to be a spectacular dog. Because of his bouncy energy, we recommend a home with kids over the age of 10. He has not yet been tested with cats, but a cat test is planned soon, so ask us for an update.
Hershey has puppy energy to spare and would thrive with a family that likes to hike, take long walks, or include their dog in daily adventures. Give this sweet boy the love and training he deserves and he will pay you back a thousand times over.
Hershey is receiving his vaccines and will be neutered soon. He is in foster care through Petersburg Animal Care and Control in Petersburg, Virginia.
