Meet Hershey
Hershey has had a rough road lately. He was first found as a stray and, after being reunited with his owner, was ultimately surrendered when they were no longer able to care for him.
One look at Hershey tells the story. His coat is severely matted, and the discomfort has led to a secondary skin infection. He's already been seen by a veterinarian and has started antibiotics, but he will likely need a sedated shave and possibly some follow-up care as he continues to heal.
Despite everything he's been through, Hershey has been very friendly with our staff and has enjoyed the attention and care he's receiving. We have been told that he can be uncomfortable around children, particularly when food is involved. Given the pain and stress he has likely been experiencing, it's difficult to know how much of that behavior may be related to his current condition, but we feel he would do best in a calm foster home without young children while he recovers.
Right now, Hershey doesn't need much—just a safe place to rest, heal, and be reminded that people can be kind. With some patience, comfort, and medical care, we think this sweet boy has brighter days ahead.
