About Hugo

Meet Hugo, an 8.5-year-old Smooth Coat Brussels Griffon weighing 12 pounds. This little guy is discovering the joys of a soft bed, a clean coat, and people who shower him with love. Coming from a hoarding situation, he is now relishing the quiet comforts of his foster home. Hugo thrives on attention and affection, happily playing the role of a little shadow to his humans. He is friendly with both dogs and cats, making him a perfect addition to homes with other pets. Hugo enjoys leisurely walks but isn’t a fan of long distances or stairs. He prefers gentle strolls and would be just as happy to be carried or to enjoy views from a stroller. It's essential for potential adopters to understand his orthopedic limitations and ensure he can still enjoy fun experiences. Hugo also has a Grade 3–4 heart murmur but currently requires no medication. He needs regular vet check-ups to monitor his heart health as he ages. What he truly seeks is a loving family who will appreciate him for the sweet dog he is, providing comfort and companionship. If you’re looking for a charming, mature companion who loves cozy days and affection, Hugo would love to be your new best friend. He is neutered, up to date with vaccinations, and ready to find his forever home. Adopters must live within a two-hour radius of Cedar Rapids, IA, and indoor homes are required.
