Heff strolls into a room with the confidence of someone much bigger but clocks in at a classic American Pit Bull Terrier size—about 40 pounds. Picked up as a stray, he got his name thanks to his particularly affectionate way of greeting everyone. After a simple neuter, his enthusiasm has mellowed out, though he still craves attention. At around two years old, Heff is navigating shelter life and slowly picking up the basics he missed before. He tries hard and aims to please; learning new things is a daily event for him. Heff is noticeably calmer around women but gets a lot more animated with men, which makes for a fun contrast. He’s open to meeting compatible dogs but should not live with cats, as there’s no evidence he’d do well. For kids, a home with children aged 12 and up fits best. Heff is house trained and ready for a fresh start in Sewaren, NJ. Click apply to start the adoption process.
