🐾 The Dog Behind the Story
Meet Hershey.
The heart of the family 🥞
Hershey DeAndre Hicks was born in Tampa in January 2001 and came to us by way of a rehoming — his first family loved him, but life changed, and he needed somewhere to land. He landed with us, and he stayed for 17 years.
He was the heart of the family.
Hershey loved car rides, road trips, posing for photos, and staying close to Kiara. He gained a best friend in Brownie and later became a big brother to Annabelle — the constant through two generations of our pack.
At 15, he suddenly became paralyzed. After emergency surgery and days of love, he stood again. It was a miracle.
“Love never leaves — and every dog deserves a home worth staying in for.”

Hershey lived a long, beautiful life. He taught us that love is the kind of legacy that outlasts us all.
