🐾 Meet Jeffifer! 🐾 This 9-month-old goofball is ready to make a splash in his forever home! Jeff came to Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh (HARP) with a few other pups after being found wandering, and now he’s eager to find a family who can keep up with his fun-loving energy. Jeff is a high-spirited guy who loves to play, run, and especially swim, water is his favorite thing! 💦 He’s great with other dogs who enjoy rowdy playtime and would do best in an adult-only (or teen) household that can give him the structure and training he needs to be his best self. If you already have a pup, HARP recommends a meet-and-greet to see if they’re the perfect pair. Not sure about cats, but HARP’s team can guide you through introductions. Think Jeff sounds like your next adventure buddy? Come meet him at HARP and see if he’s your perfect match! https://lnkd.in/eQUa5GY4 Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh East Side 6926 Hamilton Ave. Pittsburgh, Pa 15208 Kennel License #: 1043
