I also heard the shelters were very full after Covid when people went back to work and couldn\u2019t be around enough for their pets.<\/p>\n<p>Tell us what you love most about his personality.<br \/>\u27a4 I\u2019m obsessed with Hershey. He really makes you work for his love, and it took him quite a while to settle in. But we persevered and it\u2019s totally worth it. He makes our family feel complete.<\/p>\n<p>What are a few of his favorite things?<br \/>\u27a4 He has a rainbow-striped pillow that he likes to rest his head on when he\u2019s on the sofa, and he gets so excited about his walks every day.<\/p>\n<p>Does Hershey have any funny quirks?<br \/>\u27a4 When we got him home, he was so scared and anxious. He\u2019s definitely mellowed with age, loves pulling trash out of the trash cans in my teenagers\u2019 rooms, and tells us exactly when it\u2019s time for bed. He kind of rules the roost, and we wouldn\u2019t have it any other way!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pomeranian mix, approximately 13 years old Credit: Photograph by Irvin Rivera, Photographed at Same Studios; First Assistant: Andrew&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":190487,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164],"class_list":{"0":"post-190486","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-anaheim","8":"tag-anaheim","9":"tag-anaheim-headlines","10":"tag-anaheim-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=190486"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190486\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/190487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=190486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=190486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=190486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
