Meet Hugo!

Hugo has been lucky enough to have training from an experienced behavior trainer with his foster parents. We think the best home for Hugo would have dog experience as we want Hugo to continue his “education.” (He’s learned so much!) Additionally, we think it would be great for his adopter to have a friendly small to medium-sized dog to keep Hugo company.

This tiny but mighty dog is so ready to be your best friend! He is 25 pounds of low-riding great energy. We think Hugo is a Welsh Corgi mixed with a bit of French Bulldog, Dachshund, perhaps even Chihuahua or terrier. He is a true mutt. He is three years old and was rescued out of The Pasadena Humane Society. He is currently in a dog-savvy foster home with three dogs and three cats.

Hugo is a champ on the leash. He loves, loves, loves to go for walks. He is also crate-trained and housebroken. Hugo also thinks it is a blast to go on car rides. He is a fantastic companion.

Hugo LOVES to play. He loves to engage dogs of all sizes to run around, play bow and tussle with toys. In his foster home, he loves to run around the house and try to get everyone to do zoomies with him. His only tiny flaw is he does not know when some dogs do NOT want to play. So if your dog gets cranky if other dogs try to engage play, Hugo is not the dog for you. Hugo is confident, walks with his tail up and a smile on his face. In his foster home, one of the resident dogs is an older female pit bull. She does not always like Hugo in her face and can get VERY cranky with him. Hugo does not understand this, so they only allow supervised play time with Hugo and their pit bull. But other than that, Hugo is a total love with the other dogs.

Here is Hugo playing with one of the dogs in his foster home:

And here is a Hugo on a hike up in Mammoth. His foster family took Hugo and all their dogs (3 of them) to Mammoth for 5 days. Hugo was a CHAMP. He is such a great traveler and hiker:

Hugo also adores people. He may bark at strangers when he first meets them. But his foster parents are working with treat training with strangers so he does not bark. He is responding and learning very quickly. Hugo LOVES his foster family and very much loves to be a part of all activities, from working in the year to watching Netflix. Hugo likes to be in the mix and snuggling close.

Check out this little video of Hugo snuggling with his foster mom as she watched the NBA playoffs. You'll see his is super content.

If you have cats….Hugo may need some work. His foster home has three cats. At first he tried to chase them. His foster family worked with Hugo and the chasing of the cats with squirt bottles. Hugo does NOT like to be squirted with water! This has worked wonders and he has become a gentleman (most of the time) around the cats. You will need to monitor this if you have cats.

Hugo has also been a gentleman around all the kids he has met. He is great around the kids who come over to his foster home's house every day. If you have kids who are over the age of 10 and respectful of dogs, Hugo would love to hang out with them too.

All in all, Hugo is a great little guy. His foster family adores him. We think you will too.
