Meet Hershey, a 3.5-year-old, 42-pound spayed female Pit Bull Terrier/Bulldog mix with a heart as sweet as her name! Hershey was found wandering the streets of Houston until her amazing foster stepped in and gave her a safe place to land. Since then, she's blossomed into a loyal, affectionate, and easygoing companion who's ready for a forever home of her own. She may be pint-sized, but she's got a big personality and even bigger love to give. She's the kind of dog who bonds deeply with her humans and thrives in a home where she can be part of the family's daily life. Hershey is fully housebroken and does well in her crate. She's great on a leash, walks calmly, and loves getting out to sniff and explore the neighborhood. She's playful, curious, and loves a good case of the zoomies, especially in a yard where she can run off some energy. While she's generally mellow indoors, she enjoys regular walks, sniff sessions, and time outside.
Ideal Home
Hershey is looking for a stable, loving home where she can continue to thrive, feel safe, and be someone's loyal sidekick. She's full of love, personality, and wiggles, and she's more than ready to trade in her foster couch for a permanent one. Loud noises like fireworks and thunderstorms can spook her, so a calm, secure environment during those moments is important. Hershey has had a positive experience with children, including a gentle 9-year-old boy, and her affectionate nature makes her a great match for a home with respectful kids. She may do best either as the only pet, where she can soak up all the love, or with a calm, tolerant dog who won't mind her enthusiastic approach. We don't have any history with cats, so slow, supervised introductions or a cat-free home would be best for now.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Hershey is fully housebroken and does well in her crate. She's great on a leash and walks calmly. While she carries herself with confidence and will let you know if someone's at the door, her bark is all part of her charm. She has a bouncy play style with other dogs and may put her front paws on another dog to initiate play.
