Hugo

Hugo is, one might say, a bit on the large side.

He is a 6-year-old English Mastiff mix at the BGWCHS and he weighs in at about 150 pounds, but he is all heart. Complete with a flowery collar and a pink leash to match, he is a gentle soul who loves nothing more than to be pampered and loved on.

Many people see how big Hugo is and automatically worry that he is dangerous or hostile, but in reality he is probably more scared of anyone than they are of him, since he is a bit shy with strange people, though he warms up quickly. When meeting other dogs, on the other hand, he is not afraid at all. He is certainly a social dog and he loves to play with smaller dogs, although they might not be so confident when first meeting him. He also loves children and knows that he needs to be gentle with them.

Although he is so popular at the shelter, Hugo is still looking for a home. He is, not surprisingly, an indoor dog. He isn’t very active, partly because he is older, and loves to just lay around with his humans and be petted. It doesn’t take long to fall in love with this gentle giant, so please check out Hugo at his Petfinder page here.
