Hugo is a 3 yr. old bichon mix who was picked up from a local shelter about a little less than a week ago. We think Hugo is a bichon/poodle mix. He has the long legs of a poodle but the face of a bichon. He has a coat similar to a bichon or poodle. Except for his long legs, he looks just like a bichon. Hugo is a playful, friendly little guy, but he definitely does do some 'resource guarding', meaning that he 'protects' his toys and sometimes the people in his family. He is 100% housetrained, very friendly with other dogs, and weighs about 18 lbs. His foster family is working with him with regard to this one issue. We will post updates as Hugo continues to settle into his new foster home and as he makes continuing progress. Hugo WAS referred to at the shelter as "Denim" but he didn't really respond to that name, so we don't call him that anymore. If you are interested in Hugo, submit an electronic application on our website & then a volunteer will contact you via email.

DO NOT call the rescue regarding this dog. We do not have the manpower to return the large volume of inquiries we receive anytime a new dog is posted. Our preferred method of communication is email. We check email & return inquiries on a daily basis. We do not return phone calls. All available information pertaining to this dog is already listed here. NO ONE will be considered as a potential family until they have submitted an application. This is the FIRST step in the adoption process! Pls. note that your application must include a VALID, LEGIBLE e-mail address, otherwise it will be discarded! This would seem like common sense, but the number of invalid email addresses we receive are surprising! Click here to submit our ONLINE application! No mailing or faxing is necessary!electronic application!After an application has been submitted, we will contact your current or previous vet to get a reference. We will also contact you (assuming we believe your home is a good match for one of our dogs) to schedule a home visit. NO ADOPTION IS EVER FINALIZED WITHOUT A HOME VISIT FIRST. This is a required part of the screening process. Our adoption fees are listed at the top of our online application. These fees help to offset the tremendous expenses involved in getting our dogs ready for adoption. Pls. read the top of our application for further info. about our fees.An important note about tie-outs!More & more lately we've noticed a trend toward using tie-outs. Many people believe that tie-outs are a cheap alternative to fencing their yards when they are considering adding a dog to their family. These people also don't have the time to WALK their dogs the four or five times a day they would need to in order to avoid housetraining accidents. We believe that tie-outs are a dangerous method of providing your dog with outdoor time. Bichons and similar breeds are small and would be "sitting ducks" for other, more aggressive animals. They also would have no defense against unkind PEOPLE who might pass by... so tie outs are out of the question for these little guys! They need the security of a fenced yard or an owner at the opposite end of their leashes to protect them from the dangers of the outdoors! We hope you will understand that we are only looking out for the safety of our dogs when we say that we have a policy against placing dogs in homes where tie-outs will be utilized.
