New Jersey Aid for Animals board member Kelly Matthews, a Gloucester Township resident, submitted the following to Patch:

Hi, my name is Hooch. I am a 3-year-old male American pitbull terrier. I'm 50 pounds, neutered and have all my shots and super healthy. I like it at my foster house  a lot but I'd much rather come play at your house. I get along great with all of the other dogs and people I meet but I want my very own person, I sure hope you're it!

I can sit, and love walks, and I'm good on a leash. I love car rides, and love to sleep in my crate. When I get up in the morning, I like to roll on my back for belly rubs.  I also love snuggling and give the best kisses. I would prefer a home without cats.

New Jersey Aid for Animals is a Winslow Township-based no-kill animal charity enriching the lives of animals by providing programs for domestic animals on wellness, humane education, and spay and neuter, with a focus on impoverished communities.
