Come meet Hugo and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (2/15) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Falls Church (6100 - A Arlington Blvd, Falls Church, VA 22044)! Name: Hugo Best Guess for Breed: Sheltie and border collie mix Best Guess for Age: 1 year as of December 2025 SEX: Male Approximate Weight: 50lbs as of Feb. 2026 Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen him with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: DC area foster home Hugo is Looking For: His forever home! Through no fault of his own, this sweetie landed in the shelter. He's not long out of puppyhood and is eager to have his humans for long sniffy walks, romps in parks, and all the adventures they can dream up! And he'd love to make pup and people pals along the way. Quality kibble, cushy dog bed, chew dog toys - yes, please, to all those. But above all he wants to be safe and loved, to know where he belongs - and upon whom to bestow all those happy tail wags, to whom to pledge loyal companionship. Is that going to be you? Is he the one you see by your side? What My Foster Says About Me: This dog has been a happy, enthusiastic companion since the moment I picked him up. He’s energetic and smart, so he really benefits from a mix of physical exercise and mental stimulation. When he’s unsure what to do, he may whine a bit, but overall he’s been a quiet dog. Out in public, he’s friendly and curious. He may pull slightly toward people because he wants to say hello, but he’s far from difficult to handle. With a bit more training, he’ll be very manageable. He’s food‑motivated, knows basic commands, and takes treats gently. He may jump up when excited, but he does it softly. He seems more people‑oriented than dog‑oriented, but with time and structure, he should settle into a routine with other dogs. He doesn’t love going into the crate, but once inside he settles quickly. He slept through the night without a sound. During the day, he may cry for a couple of minutes before calming down. He’s still working on potty training and has had a few accidents, which is understandable given all the recent changes in his life. He’ll do well with someone who enjoys training and wants an affectionate, energetic companion. Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
