Hugo survived a miserable start to life—he came into rescue completely defenseless, with all four paws declawed. The world outside didn’t do him any favors, but he’s shown a knack for thriving when given a chance. At Fishtails, Hugo quickly revealed himself as a whiz at food puzzles, an inventive fetch partner, and an enthusiastic fan of following his favorite 'stories' on TV. He prefers to keep his circle small; Hugo wants to be your one and only sweetheart, sharing his big snuggly energy just with you. Hugo was evaluated by a cardiologist, who found his heart is physically enlarged, though he doesn't need medication or treatment for it right now. He does take daily Prozac to help ease his stress levels. Born on June 26, 2020, Hugo is a Cancer—no wonder he’s so tuned into comfort and affection. He must be the only pet in the home, which he more than makes up for with generosity and love. If you’re within 75 miles of Philadelphia and are ready to welcome Hugo as your devoted companion, he's waiting for that one person willing to make him family. Ready to meet your new best friend?
