Are you looking for a new puppy this year? You should consider Hershey.  He was born on 12/17/2023 and is ready to find his forever home.  Hershey's Mom, Honey is a lab mix who  weighs 52 lbs.  We feel that Hershey will larger when full grown.   He is a big bundle of joy!   

Hershey is a handsome,  3 month old Labrador Retriever/hound mix dog who currently weighs ~13 pounds.  Hershey is a typical pup who is very friendly, curious, active and loves to play with other dogs.

Hershey is a very smart boy and eager to learn.  He loves to please and will do anything for attention.  He loves to be outdoors so he would do well on hikes/walks and outings.  Hershey is a high energy puppy who loves zoomies around the yard and has a great time being outside.  Soon we will start leash training him.  

Hershey is working on housetraining and is doing very well. At night he sleeps in his crate in our bedroom.  He is crate trained and will go into his crate on demand.  While is would rather be out and about with his human, he is getting used to his crate. 

Hershey has not been around children, but I see no problem there.  Older children will be better because he is a puppy that has sharp teeth.  As with all puppies,  he may play bite and nip.  

Hershey’s favorite things are cuddling and playing  hard with is foster siblings, chewing his Nylabones and Kongs.  He's a smart boy who knows the command sit and will be easy to train. 

He will be a happy active boy as he gets older and will need a family who will help him work out his energy.  After he has run his zoomies, he does settle down and quietly stays in my office and entertains himself with his chew toys.                                     

Applicants must live no further than one hour from Raleigh/Cary NC as our dogs must be seen by a BFPA veterinarian /volunteer for all medical care prior to adoptions being finalized once Hershey is altered at 5-6 months old.  Best Friend Pet Adoption covers the cost of all medical care until Hershey's adoption is finalized.  Adopters must be willing to bring their puppy to the Raleigh/Cary area for all medical care needed.
