HUGO - ONE SMART, FUN, BIG 'PUPPY' Check out Hugo, an approximately 6 to 7 month old 'puppy' full of energy and excitement. Hugo is a very sociable dog. He will happily sit and wait to greet new people and ready to make new friends right away. He is an Akita mix and now at almost 7 months old is close to 70 pounds. This big boy is looking to clock in at about 100 pounds fully grown. An overall happy dog, Hugo will do best living with someone that has had experience with larger breed dogs. Though not required a fenced in yard is a plus, more importantly is any adopter have the time to mentally and physically stimulate Hugo. While being in our foster program, Hugo has been trained with all of his basic commands. He walks nicely on a leash, though does have a high interest in squirrels this autumn. Hugo is crate trained but sometimes will still whine if left alone. Since he is still a big puppy, who likes to explore and pick up items, be prepared to 'Hugo-proof' the house for the first few weeks. Hugo loves to play with other dogs and as you might expect with a young dog, he can play a long time. Hugo is good at reading his fellow dog's temperament and can be gentle or play hard depending on his playmate. Hugo has so many great qualities, it's difficult to list them all. However, because of his size and the breed, potential adopters MUST have experience with large breed dogs, preferably an Akita, any Mastiff breed, or any other working dog. Hugo sometimes can get over stimulated and proper handling is important. Hugo is available for adoption in New Jersey and Lehigh Valley. If you live outside the area, but close to New Jersey please email us first. Hugo is up to date on all shots, microchipped and neutered. Please note: Before applying please read the requirements for adopting Hugo.
