Arrival Story: I had always wanted a dog, but my family lived in an apartment for the first 18 years of my life so we couldn't get one. After I graduated High School we moved to a house with a backyard, and I was looking forward to adopting a puppy from NSALA once we were settled. Since it was my first dog, I wanted to make sure I took my time deciding and not adopt the very first one I saw (which is hard to do because all puppies are cute!). About a year after we moved, I picked out a small chocolate colored puppy who had come in with his littermates from a shelter down in Virginia. Most of them looked sort of like golden retrievers and two, including Hershey, were chocolate. Though I looked at all of them, Hershey "spoke" to me, and after he was neutered, I took him home to meet the resident Queen of the house. Needless to say, Brookie wasn't too pleased, as she had lived as the only pet of the house for a long time. She still doesn't like him very much, sorry to say. :o)
Bio: Hershey is generally a happy dog who loves hugs and especially treats! He has a tendency to be a nervous doggy , especially around strangers and especially men. I don't know if its because he was rescued as a puppy, but he definitely doesn't like men until he gets to know them. Once he gets to know you, though, you'll be forced to play frisbee with him :o) Frisbee and tennis ball are his two favorite things aside from walking, and he'll run around the yard retrieving them all day if we let him!

Hershey recently had blood drawn for the Mars Wisdom Panel mixed breed DNA analysis, and here are his results!
Hershey is a..
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Dalmatian, Bloodhound, Shar Pei, Flat Coated Retriever, Labrador Retriever mix!
None of those breeds are very prevalent and he is a multi-generational mix according to the Wisdom Panel people.
I've been tagged by Hunter! Ohboyohboy I love to play tag!
1. I may have a big tough bark, but I'm actually a scaredy cat! The four cats I live with chase me around, and I run from them!
2. Though I'm a retriever mix - I'm afraid of the water.
3. I loooooooooooove cheese, and understand the word, even if it's spelled!
4. My human-mom adopted me from a shelter when I was a puppy - the shelter rescued me and my littermates from Virginia!
5. Even though I'm not supposed to have table scraps, I love pizza crust!
6. I understand several non-verbal hand signals in addition to regular commands. My human-mom taught me down, sit, and stay, in hand signals.
7. No one knows what my actual mix is. I've been told I could have golden retriever, Labrador retriever, newfoundland, Chesapeake bay retriever, Irish Setter, Duck Tolling Retriever, English Springer Spaniel, or even Flat Coat Retriever in me! That's a lot of different things!
Hi, this is my very own page! My human mom is nicely taking care of it for me because I can't really use a keyboard with my big feet! Now what was I supposed to do again..
Oh yeah! I guess I should tell you all a little about myself. My name is Hershey Bear, or Hershey for short. I don't remember much of my life before I came to live with my human mom and the rest of the family, but I do remember being in this strange place with lots of other dogs and cats in a metal thing called a "cage". I wasn't there for very long though, because my owner was taken by my charm and adopted me right away! Humans are suckers for big brown puppy eyes.
I just looovee cookies, and playing ball in the backyard. And walks are my favorite things in the world because I get to mark all the trees that I see! My human mom always says I overdo it but a dog's gotta do what a dog's gotta do! I also live with four cats who never want to play with me. I don't understand why they try and smack my nose when I bark at them. Guess they don't like to wrestle! I'm getting kinda hungry from all this writing so I'm going to go watch my human mom eat and try and sneak a little chicken off her plate. Mmm, I love chicken! See you all around!
