Hi! My name is Hershey and I am even sweeter than the chocolate. I am a friend to dogs and humans of all ages! Before coming to my foster home, I had been living in a tiny room with six other pups for all my life. I had never even seen the outdoors until IAR rescued me!

Since then, I've had the most fun ever! Now I live in with my foster siblings, a dog and a cat, who I love sooo much. But as I get too excited playing with the kitties, my foster mom says I need a home without cats.

I love to play with toys and will fetch all day long if you let me (oh, but please don't, LOL!). What I really love more than anything, though, is to be with my humans and lie in their arms (yep, I am a big ol' lapdog!).

Best of all, I am a good, smart boy: fully crate- and potty-trained, with excellent leash manners.

I have big-boy paws and will most likely keep growing for another couple months, so be ready for tons of floofy love!

Come out and meet me today! I can't wait to give you all my love for the rest of my life!

PHYSICAL
Hershey has a short, oh-so-soft, brindle and russet coat, honey-brown eyes, and a pink nose. His white chest patch is icing on the cake!

HEALTH
Hershey is up-to-date on vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, and heartworm negative.

HISTORY
Hershey was rescued from a hoarding situation.

IAR subsidizes post-adoption professional training with Eliana Cellucci at Project Paws (https://projectpawsdogtraining.com/) to encourage a life-long and successful bond between the dog and the adopter. Group classes for puppies and adult dogs as well as private training sessions are provided at a substantial discount to IAR adopters.
