Hugo

Hugo is a lovable boy who is looking for a patient and understanding home to help him continue building his confidence. Once he feels comfortable, Hugo is incredibly friendly and affectionate, enjoying nothing more than relaxing beside his carers and soaking up attention. He loves fuss and physical contact when settled, showing his softer side to those he trusts.

Hugo is an active and playful dog who really enjoys engaging with toys. Soft toys are a particular favourite of his, and he will often use them as a way to comfort himself when he is feeling unsure or overwhelmed.

On walks, Hugo can be a strong boy on the lead and at present, he is not yet confident enough for structured walks in busy public spaces on his own and benefits greatly from having another dog alongside him for reassurance and confidence. Hugo is very social with other dogs and takes a lot of comfort from their presence. For this reason, he will need to be rehomed with a suitably matched resident dog who can help guide and support him.

Although Hugo can present as confident and excitable, he is actually quite a sensitive boy underneath and can feel worried in new or overwhelming situations. He would benefit from adopters who have experience with Bull breeds and who understand the importance of patience, predictable routines, and gentle, gradual introductions to new experiences. With the right support and a calm, consistent home, Hugo has so much love to give and will make a wonderfully affectionate and loyal companion.
