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 explore. While he isn't very interested in toys, he enjoys spending time with people and his canine friends. He's 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, we were asked to help find them safe homes before they faced an uncertain future. Today, Hershey is 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 intention to truly rescue him, understanding his need for protection and education. Experience with dog behavior and training is preferred, or a willingness to hire a trainer to help this intelligent dog thrive. High tolerance and patience for rescued puppies are essential. He is NOT house-trained.

Ongoing Health

Hershey has been spayed/neutered, received 2 DHPPI vaccines, a Rabies vaccine, a Bordetella vaccine, and has been dewormed. He is microchipped, has a negative 4DX test and heartworm test certificate, and receives monthly preventive protection for fleas, ticks, and heartworms with Nexgard Spectra. He also has a health certificate and a vaccines booklet.

Training & Support

Hershey is not house-trained and will require consistent effort and patience in this area. As he is curious and enjoys chewing, he will need appropriate chew toys and supervision to continue learning. It's important to understand that rescued dogs may have experienced trauma and require an adjustment period. Patience, understanding, a safe and loving environment, and a consistent routine will help build trust and strengthen your bond with Hershey.
