About Shih Tzu Hugo

Hugo is a delightful little Shih Tzu, and at just 3 months old, he’s already making waves with his infectious energy. Although he was just a tiny nugget when he arrived, he has flourished in his foster home and continues to grow stronger. This little guy has a wagging tail that never seems to stop. His playful spirit especially shines when he’s with his toys or other dogs. Because he weighs only 4 pounds, it's best for him to be in a home without larger dogs or very small children to ensure his safety. He is neutered, up to date on his vaccinations, and microchipped. To aid his breathing, he also underwent surgery to widen his nostrils, resulting in improved airflow. A fenced yard would be ideal for Hugo to romp around with joy. What are you waiting for?
