Hershey

Hershey is a sweet Chihuahua boy who weighs about 8.6 lbs and was born on January 10, 2026. He is friendly with dogs, children, men, and women, making him a wonderful companion for many different families. Hershey is a happy, playful little guy who loves to run around and explore. He isn't very interested in toys, but he enjoys spending time with people and his canine friends. He is not much of a barker and has a cheerful personality that brightens every room he enters. At bedtime, Hershey sleeps in an open crate and comes and goes freely as he pleases. Like many young dogs, he is curious and loves to chew, so he will need appropriate chew toys and supervision as he continues to learn. Hershey's life could have taken a very different path. He was born into a home where promises were made to keep and care for the puppies, but as they grew, those promises faded. There were days when the puppies went without food because their family could not or would not provide for them. Eventually, he was rescued and is now safe, healthy, and ready for a family that will cherish him forever. He deserves a home where he will never have to wonder where his next meal or his next cuddle will come from.

Ideal Home

Hershey would do best in a home with a fenced backyard and an active family that enjoys outdoor activities. He needs a family with the genuine intention to rescue a dog and an open conscience about the needs of rescued animals, requiring protection and education. Experience with dog behavior and training is preferred, or a willingness to hire a trainer. High tolerance and patience for rescued puppies are essential. Hershey is not house-trained.

Ongoing Health

Hershey has received a spay/neuter certificate, two DHPPI vaccines, a rabies vaccine, a Bordetella vaccine, has been dewormed, and is microchipped. He has also had a 4DX test and certificate, a negative heartworm test certificate, and receives monthly preventive protection with Nexgard Spectra for fleas, ticks, and heartworm. He also has a health certificate and a vaccines booklet.

Training & Support

Hershey is not house-trained and will need consistent training and supervision, especially regarding chewing. Due to his past experiences, he may require an adjustment period in a new home and will benefit from patience and understanding to build trust.
