Meet Herschel, the German Shepherd whose journey from a backyard chain to an ocean paradise will warm your heart!

In the beginning, Herschel faced tough times, yearning for freedom while stuck in a backyard. But destiny had something extraordinary in store for him. Kind rescuers noticed his plight, and Herschel found his way to Michelson Found Animals, where care and compassion awaited.

Life took a turn for the better, but adjusting to a new home was no walk in the park for Herschel. Limited interactions with people made it challenging. That’s when Michelson Found Animals sought the help of Rocky Kanaka, the host of Dog’s Day Out.

Rocky’s mission? To bring joy to dogs in need, and Herschel was next in line. A special day filled with treats and snowy playtime awaited our furry friend. The turning point? When a viewer watching the show fell head over paws for Herschel and offered him a forever home.

Together, Rocky and Herschel embarked on a road trip to Los Angeles, a journey that changed Herschel’s life forever. The pitstop? The beach – Herschel’s first encounter with the vast ocean.

Imagine the joy in Herschel’s eyes as he barked with excitement, playing in the sand and water alongside Rocky. It was a moment of pure bliss. Rocky knew this pup had found his paradise, and the rest is history.

Now happily residing with his new family in Los Angeles, Herschel can enjoy the beach whenever his heart desires.
