My story

Meet JefeJefe arrived at the Manhattan ACC on December 22, 2025, after being surrendered by his previous owner. Through all the change, he’s shown just how friendly, attentive, and people‑oriented he truly is. He connects quickly, tries hard to understand what’s being asked of him, and genuinely wants to be someone’s loyal companion.Affectionate and people‑focused — he bonds deeply once he feels safe.Eager to learn — he responds well to structure and consistency.Sensitive and thoughtful — he thrives with calm, patient humans who move at his pace.A quiet, predictable home where routines help him feel secureA patient adopter who can provide daily interaction and consistent trainingA pet‑free household — he needs to be the only animalAn adults‑only home with no childrenHe’s already making progress on his leash manners and benefits from clear, consistent instruction. With steady guidance, he continues to improve and show just how much potential he has.🏡 The Home He’ll Flourish InSomeone who appreciates a dog with heart, sensitivity, and a real desire to bond. A person who sees not just where he is today, but who he can become with time, patience, and love.**Neutered**5 Years Old***MALE**Pitty Mix **71 pds **Up to date on all PAWS Adoption Coordination Team Pioneers for Animal Welfare Society, Inc. http://www.paws-li.org https://www.facebook.com/PAWSLongIsland/ Instagram: @paws_li Phone: (631) 306-4616 ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://paws-li.org/html/services/adopt-1.php
