About Hugo
Hugo is a big cuddle buddy. He loves any attention he can get.
He may be a racing breed sort of dog, but don't worry. He's not 'The Fast & The Furious', hes more the Slow and the Calm.

He has made great progress since being in foster care, both with his health and training.
Hugo was rescued in poor condition where he had some wounds, lots of fleas, very underweight, a broken tooth, and had been sleeping on concrete for a long time causing calluses. Despite all of this, he is very friendly and trusting to anyone he meets. It wont be long before he's looking as gorgeous as his personality.
His fur is still growing back in some places so he loves wearing a soft jacket outside and chilling out on a fluffy bed or blanket inside. He has discovered he would rather sleep next to your bed than in his bed. This might be a fear that he won't see you again, so when he has a forever home he should settle into his own bed easily. Unless you give in and have this beautiful boy curled up on his blanket next to your bed, it's hard to say no to that much love in those big brown eyes!
Hugo loves visiting the pet store, not for shopping... just making new friends or having a nice warm bath. Hugo loves being around people and animals. He's even tried to make friends with a picture of a puppy!
No signs of any aggressive behavior even when around big boisterous playmates.
Hugo still needs to put on some weight, but he loves his food so that shouldn't take long! He is healthy and ready to go to his forever home with a Vet's blessing, but you should manage his slow weight gain.
Hugo gets lonely easily so will need a friend to be home most of the time (2 or 4 legged friends will be fine) so he doesn't get stressed or sad. Hugo's had playmates larger than him and a tiny puppy, a boy with a disability, older people and young children, He has been friendly in every situation. He loves to play with others or just follow you around, but being so social is tiring so he probably sleeps more than he's awake. Such a chilled out guy!
Whilst Hugo is great with most he is not good with cats so would be better in a cat free home!
Hugo would make a great companion in any environment, he has learnt basic commandments very quickly and loves to show off his skills. He loves pats and praise as reward rather than a treat, although he wont say no to those either.
Hugo will let you know when he needs to go to the toilet, or if there's access to outside he will organise himself.
If you have a little love and time to share, Hugo will love to spend his days with you.
Please note also: greyhounds are actually lazy dogs and also do not need to wear a muzzle in public any longer.
