Herschel, a handsome German Shepherd, was discovered neglected and kept on a chain by animal rights activists who rescued him and took him to a shelter.
There, his fortunes would finally change.
Hope for Herschel
Despite an initial adoption falling through when the family didn’t understand his exercise needs, another family came forward to offer him the love and attention he deserved.
Now, with his new family, Herschel enjoys long walks, playtime, and the opportunity to experience new adventures.
New experiences and adventures
His joyous encounter with snow and a visit to the beach captured the hearts of millions when videos of his newfound happiness went viral online.
One video shows Herschel frolicking in the snow, chasing after a ball and enjoying plenty of belly rubs.
Another shows Herschel heading to the beach, where he sees the ocean for the first time and enjoys a doggy paddle in the water.
It’s incredible to watch Herschel’s transformation from a neglected dog to a cherished companion who is now living life to the full.
