Hugo is loving and wants to be included in everything. He has high energy during walks but relaxes most of the day. He knows commands like sit, down, stay, leave it, go to bed, and plays fetch with two balls. Hugo does best on his own with no other pets and can be too excitable around children. He loves strong chew toys, playing in the snow, long walks, and swimming. We are looking for a forever home with a yard where he can run and play.
