Big Hugo

Big Hugo's ideal home

Two-year-old Hugo is a sweet and friendly boy, who loves to be close to his favourite people. But despite his love for his human friendships, he can be worried by strangers and prefers to build up a bond at his own pace. Hugo can also feel wary with having a harness put on but has been doing well building up his confidence wearing it after taking it slow and offering him tasty treats. Due to his sensitivities around strangers and some types of handling, Hugo would best be suited to a calmer home environment, where the youngest family members are of an older secondary-school age. Hugo is generally excited to greet other dogs, but he can sometimes come across as a bit intense and is worried when they come running up to him, especially larger breeds. He would be better suited to being the only dog in the home but would benefit from having walking buddies occasionally. A garden of his own is essential so that he can work on his toilet training. Ultimately, he’d love to find a patient and understanding family who could support him with some additional training and confidence building, while offering a peaceful place to call home.

Could you be Big Hugo's perfect match?

Once you’ve built his friendship, Hugo loves showing his affection and will rub against you for a gentle fuss. He likes food and is very fond of long-lasting chews but would prefer to eat these in a safe place without too much foot traffic. He’s always keen to explore and loves spending time outdoors for a good sniff about, but prefers to walk in rural areas, away from busy roads.
