Hershey

My story

HERSHEY'S story, since the day of his rescue, has captured the hearts of hundreds of loving fans on Facebook and other social media! Rescued as a hit-by-car dog with rear leg paralysis, he required spinal surgery, followed by months of specially targeted post-op therapies. He has recovered beautifully, and is now available for adoption! Thank you Hershey fans for supporting this "You Can Do Hard Things" boy! ❤️ >> FOR HERSHEY'S MOST CURRENT STATUS - availability, updates, photos, and videos - follow him at www.campcocker.com/hershey and Facebook & Instagram. #CampCockerHershey HERSHEY IS BEING FOSTERED IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA >> HERSHEY is: Affectionate, playful, smart, brave, curious, eager to please, leash-trained, house-trained, and loves toys. *Once he gets to know you* he’s also a lap dog & snuggle-bug, loves kisses (we call them Hershey's kisses!) >> TO SET HERSHEY UP TO THRIVE, STAY HEALTHY, AND BE THE BEST COMPANION EVER, HE WILL HAVE SOME SPECIAL NEEDS TO BE MET BY HIS FUTURE ADOPTERS: - Hershey will always have IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease) and will always be prone to re-injury. This will require an environment that will help to prevent activities that could lead to re-injury. - It will never be safe for Hershey to have access to stairways, or to furniture or beds that he can jump on or off. - Though he might enjoy the company of another dog, it's important that he not be subject to jumping, wrestling, and engaging in active play with other dogs. - Since he’s not a fan of loud or unexpected noises or interactions, Hershey should be in a quiet home with no children, and probably no cats. He interacts well with other dogs, but it will be best for him to be in a home without other dogs due to his specific environmental requirements. - Hershey's ideal home will be a house with a yard, in a quiet neighborhood. >> Before submitting your application, PLEASE VISIT HERSHEY'S WEB PAGE TO READ HIS *ENTIRE* BIO and learn about his history, his needs - and how Camp Cocker can help!
