Meet Hershey!

Hershey is an adorable approximately 2-year-old Chihuahua who recently found herself in rescue after her beloved owner could no longer care for her and entered a nursing home. While life has changed a lot for this little girl, shes ready to find a loving family and settle into a forever home of her own.

At 9 pounds, Hershey is a petite blonde sweetheart with a gentle, tender personality. She can be a little shy when meeting new people, but she is never mean or unfriendly. Give her a little time to feel comfortable, and her sweet personality quickly starts to shine.

Once Hershey trusts you, she is a total baby girl who absolutely loves to snuggle. Shes sweet, affectionate, and submissive, and would happily curl up next to her person and soak up all the love she can get. Shes the kind of little dog who makes you want to scoop her up and carry her around.

Hershey does well with other dogs and has a gentle, easygoing nature. She would do best with a family who will give her a little patience while she gets comfortable and then let her blossom into the sweet, cuddly companion she is meant to be. A quiet home is best for her.

If youre looking for a gentle little shadow who loves nothing more than being close to her people, Hershey may be your perfect match. This sweet girl deserves a family who will make her feel safe, loved, and cherished forever.
