About Hei Hei

Hei Hei (pronounced “Hay Hay”) is a handsome chocolate Lab/Retriever mix who is 1 year and 8 months old. He’s a happy, social guy and loves people of all ages, whether it's playing a game of fetch or just chilling out together. Adventures are his favorite, and he’s always keen for a swim or a car ride (he prefers shotgun). Already knowing some commands, he’s eager to learn more and strengthens that bond with his humans. Hei Hei has experience with other dogs and generally does well, though he can be a bit shy around larger pups initially. With some patience, he warms up nicely. He's also lived with cats and was very tolerant, but prefers homes without them. If you’re searching for a friendly companion who balances playfulness with affection, Hei Hei might be just the match you need. Give Heartland a call to set up a meet and greet; he’s excited to meet his future family! 🧡
