Meet Hershey — your quiet shadow with soulful eyes 🤎

Hershey is the kind of dog who doesn’t demand attention — he quietly earns your heart. Sweet, shy, curious, and playful, this gentle boy is looking for someone who understands that the best relationships take a little time.

Once he feels safe, Hershey becomes your soft-hearted sidekick. He’ll follow you from room to room, supervise your daily routine, and reward your patience with the sweetest nudges of growing confidence.

Hershey thrives in a calm home where he can adjust at his own pace. A quiet environment, yummy treats, toys, and gentle encouragement are the keys to watching this sensitive boy truly blossom. And when he does, you’ll see his playful personality and loving nature shine.

He especially lights up around other dogs and would love a confident canine sibling to help show him the ropes. He also enjoys relaxing in the sun and exploring outdoors, so a secure fenced yard is a must for his comfort and safety.

Hershey has been working hard on:
Basic commands
Leash walking
Building trust with new people
Growing his confidence every day

His foster family has helped him come so far, and now he’s ready for someone to give him the forever home he’s been waiting for.

Hershey isn’t the dog who rushes up to strangers — he’s the one who forms a deep, loyal bond with his person. If you’re looking for a gentle companion and are willing to give him a little time, Hershey will give you his whole heart.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - 

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and New England.  

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.
