About Hugo

Hugo can be a little reserved in the kennel, especially when meeting new people, but with patience, you’ll see he’s a social, affectionate dog at heart. Once he gets comfortable, Hugo is eager to please and loves attention. He needs a quiet, lower-traffic home where he won’t be overwhelmed by too many visitors, and where he’ll have time to warm up at his own pace. A friendly, confident dog in the home would be a real asset—Hugo picks up on cues from other dogs and seems to gain confidence with a companion to play with. He’s sharp, learns quickly, and enjoys playtime. So don’t be misled by his timid first impression; Hugo is one of those dogs who blossoms in a patient, caring environment. If you’re looking for a loyal companion and have the calm home Hugo needs, think about bringing him into your family. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
