About Hugo

Hugo is a delightful 1-year-old Chiweenie mix, weighing in at around 19 pounds. Once he feels at home, his true playful personality shines through. Give this little guy a few days to settle in, and you'll be treated to his comical antics — he truly knows how to bring joy to your day. Affectionate and silly, Hugo craves attention and is sure to keep you entertained. He loves other dogs and would thrive in a multi-dog household, where he can enjoy the company of canine friends. He is also progressing well with housebreaking. It's important to note that Hugo can be fearful of children and teenagers, so he would thrive best in an adult-only home. If there are older children, they need to be patient and gentle, allowing him to come to them at his own pace. He has a playful nature, especially when it comes to cats—he thinks they’re fun to chase, so a home without cats is likely best unless they are particularly dog-savvy. Having had a challenging start to life, Hugo may take a little longer to feel secure. But once he warms up to you, he reveals himself to be a loving and funny companion who is absolutely worth the wait. If you're ready to give Hugo the understanding home he needs, he’d love to meet you. Start your journey together!
