Hershey

My story

Meet Hershey! Looking for a fun-loving pup with a zest for life and a heart as big as his smile? Say hello to Hershey, a 2-year-old, 50 lb. mutt with a charming personality and a can-do attitude!Hershey was rescued from a high-kill shelter in the south where it was discovered he had a “wonky” back leg likely the result of an old, untreated injury near his growth plate. One leg is a bit shorter than the others, and he’ll sometimes hold it up when he’s tired. While he may need an amputation someday, right now he’s doing great and doesn’t let it slow him down!In his foster home, Hershey has been a star student–he’s had no accidents, is crate trained, and even does well when left home uncrated. He loves going for leashed walks and runs, and would thrive in a home that can give him regular outlets for his energy.Hershey could join a home with kids 10+ and other active dogs, but no cats please–they’re just a little too exciting for him. A fenced yard would be a big plus to help him burn off energy and enjoy the outdoors safely.His foster says, `Hershey is such a sweet and goofy boy! He`s medium energy and is the perfect combination of playful and couch-potato. He enjoys his daily walks, but is then content spending the rest of the day snuggled beside you on the couch. He`s a smart boy and quickly learned basic commands such as sit, laydown, come, and wait. He walks with a limp due to a previous injury, but doesn`t let this slow him down! He loves running around the yard and wrestling with our other pup throughout the day. He also does great in the car and loves going for rides. We can`t wait to see Hershey living his best life with his forever family!`He is available for adoption in Hopkinton or Framingham, MA by appointment.
