Hefty and his sister Hiba enjoyed growing up together but now they're ready to split up and get their own homes. Hefty is no longer a tiny squishy baby but he's still a puppy and wants what puppies want - play time and exploration and cuddles. Sniffy walks, romps with pup pals, all the adventures his humans can dream up - yes, please! And dog school, so he can show how super smart he is.

Change of name, please?Hefty is looking forward to loving and being loved by his humans, to being a loyal companion for all his days. Are you his happily ever after?
