Meet the absolutely magnificent Hugo! 🎉✨ If you’re a strong, dog-savvy woman in search of a loyal, goofy, and adventure-loving sidekick, then Hugo just might be the soulmate that you’ve been dreaming of! 💖 At 4 years old, this handsome large mixed breed has been waiting for his forever home for over a year—can you believe it? He is officially our longest resident ever. 🏆 And while he’s yet to meet his special someone (yes, we're looking for a her!), we just know she’s out there, perhaps even reading this right now! 😊 Hugo is the quintessential one-person dog; he’s the kind who forms an unbreakable bond with his chosen human. Once you’re lucky enough to be in his heart, you become his whole world! Picture this: belly laughs from his big, vibrant personality, soaking up the sun together in your backyard, or hopping into the car for spontaneous day trips to the great outdoors. 🚗🌲 He’s as smart as a whip, eager to learn, and his absolute favorite summertime activity? It’s splashing around in a kiddie pool like a 100-pound toddler! 🐶💦 But let’s get to the nitty-gritty, shall we? Hugo needs a female-only home—no exceptions! 🚫👩 No other pets and no kids. Now, this isn’t because he’s “bad”—far from it! It’s because we truly understand what makes him thrive. He flourishes in an environment with calm, clear expectations and a consistent routine. The majority of our team, who happens to adore him (mostly women!), has no trouble handling him every day. He’s crate trained, leash trained, and genuinely a delight with the people he trusts! 🥰 We’re not looking for a foster; we’re on the hunt for Hugo’s perfect person. We want someone who recognizes that a few dogs come with a little backstory but have oceans of love to give. 🌊❤️ Hugo’s inner circle may be small, but his heart is enormous. He’s been waiting for love, and we believe the best chapter of his story is yet to come! 📖✨ **So if you think Hugo might be your kind of guy—don’t wait! He’s been waiting a long time, and he’s ready for a companion who knows how truly special he is.
