Hello, I’m Hugh — a snuggly, gentle older gentleman with excellent house manners and a deep appreciation for naps. I may look a bit like a baby seal, but don’t let that fool you… I’m really just a calm, sweet soul who works for snacks and loves a cozy spot on the couch.

I can be a little nervous when meeting new people, so I like to take introductions slow. But once I decide you’re one of my people, I’m incredibly affectionate and loyal. I’m the perfect couch potato, happily living my lazy life — stealing hearts, giving soft kisses, and settling in for long snoozes.

When I’m not relaxing at home, I enjoy gentle nature walks and sniffing all the new smells. I’m also the classic “nosey neighbor,” keeping tabs on the comings and goings outside so I can report back when you get home. Someone’s gotta keep watch!

I feel most comfortable in a calm, adult-only home where life moves at a steady pace. I also prefer to be your only pet, but I promise I have more than enough love to make up for it. I’m potty-trained, know sit, down, and shake, and I’d be grateful to have someone by my side during storms and fireworks.

If you’re looking for a calm, cuddly companion who will lounge beside you, make you laugh, and keep your household running with lighthearted neighborhood updates, I just might be your guy.

My digits are APA-A-134891 — I’d love to meet you.

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!
