About Hugo

Hugo is a lively and charming Chihuahua mix currently living in Albion, NY. At about a year old and weighing around 14 pounds, he's full of character and ready to share his silly side once he feels comfortable. With a little time, you'll discover how truly entertaining he can be. He loves to play and brings joy to any moment with his amusing antics. This playful boy enjoys the company of other dogs, making him a great fit for a multi-dog household. He's also been doing well with housebreaking, which is a plus! Hugo does have some quirks. He tends to be fearful around children and teenagers. He would thrive best in an adult home where he can feel safe and secure. Homes with older children who are patient and gentle could work too, as long as they respect his space. Cats may not be the best match, as Hugo thinks it’s great fun to chase them, so a cat-free environment would be ideal unless the cats are very dog-savvy and introductions are managed carefully. This little guy has faced challenges in the past, which has contributed to some of his fears. However, those who take the time to earn his trust are rewarded with a goofy and affectionate companion. Hugo doesn’t need a perfect home; just one that’s patient enough to let his true personality shine. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
