🐶 Your Block-Headed Bestie Awaits!

Looking for a dog with a heart as big as his adorable, blocky noggin? 💖 Meet Hugo — the treat-loving, couch-arm-perching, smooch-giving goofball who’s as cuddly as he is quirky.

Hugo is a total lovebug with his people and lives for snuggles, walks, and belly rubs (on his terms, of course). He’s super food-motivated (trainer’s dream! 🦴🍖), enjoys car rides 🚗, and absolutely adores outdoor adventures — especially if squirrels are involved. 🐿️

⚠️ Hugo is Working on Some Things...

While Hugo is sweet and snuggly, he does have ongoing training needs. He’s currently working through:

🔄 Barrier reactivity
🛑 Resource guarding
🛑 Head shyness & sensitivity to touch
🐾 Leash reactivity (people, dogs, small critters)

He has a bite history — we’re happy to provide full transparency and discuss this further to ensure the right match. 🛡️

🏠 Hugo’s Ideal Home

✅ Adults-only household (no kids, please)
✅ Pet-free for now — carefully selected dog friends may be possible in the future
✅ Experienced handler — bully-breed savvy is a huge bonus!
✅ Patient, calm, and confident person or couple 🙌
✅ Someone committed to positive reinforcement training
✅ Secure yard or consistent leash-walking routine

💬 A Few More Hugo Highlights:

💤 Crate trained and does best when crated while you're away
🛻 Great in the car — road trip buddy ready!
🥎 Loves playtime but is also happy to chill and cuddle
🧠 Smart, silly, and eager to please when he feels safe

💛 The Bottom Line:

Hugo isn’t your average beginner pup — he’s looking for someone who’s willing to put in the work and meet him where he’s at. But for the right person, Hugo will be a deeply loyal, goofy, and affectionate best friend who just wants to feel safe and loved. 💘

He’s ready for his second chance. Are you the one to give it to him? 🐾
