LebTown features a different Lebanon County pet each Friday to help us enter the weekend with the best vibes possible.

Our Pet of the Week is sometimes available for adoption through a local shelter. Other times the weekly column will spotlight a local furbaby who already lives in a happy Lebanon County home.

This week, meet Hershey!

Hershey is back up to a healthy weight.

Hershey, according to owner Stacey Lattanze, is a chocolate Lab mix adopted from Davis Dog Farm as a rescue from the Carolinas.

“He was skin and bones at 63 pounds in March 2023, and tested heartworm positive,” Stacey says. “He had his treatments and is now a healthy 116 pounds! He continued to grow like Clifford the Big Red Dog with a healthy diet and love.”

Hershey will turn 4 in September, she says.

“He is the most lovable dog,” Stacey says. “Never met a stranger, only friends he hasn’t met.”

Congratulations to Hershey for being this week’s LebTown Pet of the Week!
