Hugo

Say hello to Hugo #1110! He’s a 10-year-old chiweenie the color of butterscotch and is just as sweet. He weighs a very liftable 13 pounds, which is perfect because whoever adopts him is going to be lifting him up for a zillion hugs and smooches.<br/><br/>Hugo seeks a doggy brother or sister who is confident and doesn’t mind a little sass from a short king. He’s been taking notes from the dogs in his foster home on how to play and behave in new situations. He would also love a cat, although cats may not be as big of fans of his Pick-Me attitude, as Hugo tries hard to get their attention. A MUST is a home full of fleece blankets, as Hugo’s favorite pastime is burrowing into them at naptime.<br/><br/>Hugo walks well on a leash and would likely do well in any kind of yard situation, although he doesn’t like to go out by himself. He’s still working on getting on a potty schedule and doesn’t mind sporting fancy belly bands as the need arises. He’s allowed loose to free-roam while his foster family is away but doesn’t object to crate time either. And he’ll do anything for a snack! He spins and jumps high in the air with glee at the mere thought.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, Hugo has tested positive for heartworm. He is looking for a foster to adopt home that will allow him to live with them while MNBR covers the cost of his heartworm treatment, then adopt him once he is heartworm free.<br/><br/>Apply for Hugo at https://www.mnbassetrescue.com/adoption and then run to the store to stock up on fleecies...you're going to need them!<br/><br/>MNBR adopts locally as much as possible so we can properly support our foster dogs and adopters if the need arises.
