Meet Hershey, a two-and-a-half-year-old Pit/Cattle Dog mix weighing around 65 pounds.

Hershey is pure joy on four legs! This friendly, outgoing boy loves everyone he meets and can turn any moment into a celebration with his wagging tail and silly antics. He's enthusiastic, playful, and always ready for attention - especially if it comes with pets, scratches, or belly rubs.

Hershey had his tail docked due to a "happy tail," but don't worry - that hasn't slowed him down one bit. If anything, he still wiggles with excitement for every person, every toy, and every new adventure. He's full of energy, full of love, and full of silly charm.

This little chocolate-colored bundle of fun would thrive in a home where he gets plenty of interaction, playtime, and all the affection he craves. Hershey's goal in life? To make you laugh, love him, and enjoy every wag of his tail along the way. If you want a playful, silly, and endlessly loving companion, Hershey is ready to be your perfect partner-in-fun.

This pet is available for adoption on 2/20/2026 at 11:20 AM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you recognize this animal please contact the adoption center at 509-457-6854.
