Hershey

Fill out an adoption form

Hershey is a wonderful boy! Sweet, shy, curious and playful Hershey is one of a kind. Hershey is a shy dog with a gentle soul who is worth getting to know. He will capture your heart in a second with his soulful eyes.

The way to this boy's heart is patience, understanding, some yummy treats and toys.

Having a reserved disposition, this sweet boy is looking for a quiet home without young children. This boy thrives in a calm environment where his people understand his need to adjust at his own pace. His adopters will need patience and understanding that Hershey will blossom with this patience. He will pay you back for your patience with his little nudges of confidence. He will follow you around and supervise your daily routine.

Hershey has been working on basic commands, leash walking, and learning to trust humans. Hershey also enjoys sunbathing and MUST HAVE a secure fence in yard to ensure his safety and provide him a space to explore confidently.

While he takes time to warm up to new faces, his sweet and gentle nature shines through once he feels safe. He lights up around other dogs, so having a gentle furry sibling or two to learn from would be ideal.

His foster family has done an amazing job helping him come out of his shell, and he's now ready for the next chapter of his journey.

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.
