Hugo and his sad “please pick me eyes” are looking for a foster or forever home. Can you help us find him a family soon? He has been waiting months without ANY interest. Hugo is a 3 year old, male, mixed breed. This big boy is looking for an adult family without other pets. He is a healthy 70lbs and is the perfect size for cuddling on the couch (or a king sized bed). He likes going on long walks and enjoys being outside. He is up to date on all of his vaccinations and has been neutered.
*PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO STRINGENT OUT OF STATE HEALTH CERTIFICATE REQUIREMENTS WE ARE NOW ONLY ADOPTING TO RHODE ISLAND RESIDENTS*. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Unfortunately, due to past issues with landlords/housing/insurance, a restricted breed policy is in place for Bully breed/Pit Bull type dogs. This means that you must own your home and provide proof of homeownership to adopt a Bully breed/Pit Bull dog or puppy. While we understand that this may be an inconvenience, it is necessary to help reduce the number of devastated dogs being returned. We apologize for the inconvenience.
