We, the world, and his awesome mom, Robin Mower, said goodbye to our baby Hershey last week.
Hershey was rescued in March of 2017 from another rescue that found themselves overwhelmed and under staffed and funded. I'm not making excuses for them, I just know it was not deliberate like so many other cases I have seen.
Hershey had been bailed off the kill lot about 9 months earlier. He had twisted front legs and horribly neglected hooves.
In 2022 a kind loving lady, Robin, looked past Hershey's disability and he became her first rescue baby. Hershey obviously loved his mama very much and was always on his best behavior with her.
We worked so hard to stabilize him and give him a chance at a long life but sadly his earlier neglect won out and forced Robin to make the ultimate sacrifice and release him from the pain.
Hershey was a joy to know, grew big and strong but in the end, his healthy size was too much for his legs to hold.
Thank you Robin for giving Hershey the best 2 years of his short life. You were the best mom he could have asked for. Many hugs to you and all of your horsey and doggy babies.❤️❤️❤️
