My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, I'm Hugh! My mom went to assisted living and it left me with no place to go. Thankfully ALIVE Memphis swooped in and gave me a sweet place to crash while waiting for our forever home. I'm a funny but shy guy at first. Although it takes me a little bit of time to feel comfy, a handful of treats, and comfort, and I will be hanging on the couch next to you in no time. I LOVE to snuggle and when I have made a friend with a human my favorite thing to do is to give hugs. I have met other dogs and if they are into playing I get excited and follow suit, but I'm appropriate if they are not into a Hugh playdate. I may have a few moments of play in the house with a toy, but I'm really just content taking long naps on the couch. My foster mom refers to me as the burrito because I love to be wrapped in a blanket.

My foster home consists of a wonderful lady who takes care of me and her other three personal dogs. I’m used to a schedule and I’m a good boy on the days she leaves to go to work.

I would do best in a home that is on the quiet and low-energy side. A fenced yard versus having to walk on busy city streets would also be our ideal situation. I’m ready to retire and don't need the hustle and bustle of city life, like those other young whippersnappers ALIVE Memphis has available for adoption. If you are looking for a sweet Italian greyhound that just wants a million burrito style naps, and to binge watch Mash with- get your app in now.
