Hershey - Standard Poodle and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Little Rock, Arkansas

Meet Hershey!

Meet Hershey, the adorable 4-month-old Standard Poodle mix! At just 4 months old, he's already 30 pounds and still has plenty of growing to do. This handsome boy is going to be a big dog!

Hershey is a sensitive soul. He can be timid when meeting new people and takes a little time to warm up, but once he trusts you, you'll discover one of the sweetest, most affectionate dogs you'll ever meet. He loves nothing more than giving hugs, getting cuddles, and being close to his people.

He also enjoys the company of other dogs, although he needs a few days to feel comfortable with new canine friends. Because of his gentle personality, he'd do best with a playful, patient dog that isn't overly dominant.

Hershey is full of puppy energy! He absolutely loves to run, play, and explore. His ideal home will be an active family that enjoys adventures and has a secure, fenced backyard where he can safely burn off all that energy. Running is one of his favorite things in the world!

Like most puppies, Hershey is still learning his manners. He gets excited and likes to jump on people, and he's very, very mouthy during playtime. Because he doesn't yet understand his size or strength, we don't feel he would be the best fit for a home with young children (Please homes with kids over the age of 10).

This smart boy is already learning quickly! He is:

Kennel trained
Sleeps through the night
Potty trained
Knows how to sit and shake

He's also figured out that being tall has its advantages and has started discovering he can reach things on counters and tables, so his future family will need to stay one step ahead of this clever pup!

Because Hershey is a vocal boy who loves to run and play, we do not think apartment living would be a good fit for him.

Hershey is current on all age-appropriate vaccinations, is on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention, is microchipped, and will be neutered.

If you're looking for a loyal adventure buddy with a heart of gold and are willing to give him the time he needs to build confidence, Hershey will reward you with endless love and companionship.

If you'd like to make this incredibly handsome boy part of your family, please submit an adoption application today!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The Standard Poodle, known for its intelligence, elegance, and hypoallergenic coat, is a versatile and athletic breed that excels in various canine activities. With a proud demeanor and an affectionate nature, Standard Poodles make excellent family companions and therapy dogs. Their hypoallergenic coat requires regular grooming to prevent matting and keep them looking their best. This breed thrives on mental stimulation and physical exercise, making them excellent partners for active individuals or families.
