Meet Hugo — a 6-year-old French Bulldog with strong opinions, excellent walking skills, and a very exclusive friendship circle.
Hugo arrived with us as a stray after being handed into an out-of-hours vets, with a story that made absolutely no sense whatsoever. We suspect Hugo was dumped, which frankly says far more about the humans involved than it ever will about him. Hugo, however, has decided he’s not dwelling on the past. He’s far too busy planning his future.
Hugo is, at first, a sceptical little man. He doesn’t hand out trust freely, and honestly, we respect that. But once you earn your place in his inner circle, you’ll discover a fiercely loyal, deeply loving companion who will choose you every single day.
He has already made a few chosen friends here, and watching him bond with “his people” is something really special. He’s also learning that humans can be kind, consistent, and worth the effort — especially the ones carrying cheese.
On walks, Hugo transforms into a determined explorer. He heads out like he has important business to attend to, and you are simply his assistant. He enjoys his adventures and will happily take you on long, purposeful strolls. Occasionally, he questions your navigational choices (particularly if it involves turning back), but with gentle encouragement and the correct cheese-based negotiations, he cooperates beautifully.
Hugo could potentially live with another calm, neutered dog of a similar size who understands personal space and isn’t interested in unnecessary drama.
He is looking for an adult-only home. Hugo doesn’t want chaos, noise, or small unpredictable humans — he wants calm, understanding adults who will give him the time and respect he deserves.
He bonds deeply and doesn’t enjoy being left behind, so a home where someone is around most of the time would suit him perfectly. He would make an excellent work-from-home colleague, offering emotional support, supervision, and occasional judgement.
Hugo isn’t for everyone — and that’s exactly what makes him special. He’s for someone patient, kind, and understanding. Someone who will let him be himself. Someone who will earn his trust and treasure it.
Because once Hugo chooses you, you’ll have one of the most loyal little shadows you could ever hope to find.
Once settled training classes for confidence building will do him the world of good.
Hugo will also sing sweet songs if his favourite people go out of sight when out a walk. He’s calling you back to his circle.
