Hugo German Shepherd Dog Male for sale in Gretna, Nebraska

Hugo's story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.
German Shepherd dogs, as well as the other herding breeds that we have in rescue, are highly active, energetic, working breeds. They require considerable vetting, exercise, socialization, training, leadership and mental stimuli in order to be well-adjusted, well-balanced, and well-mannered dogs. Even if you exercise and play with your dog daily in your fenced yard, you MUST still take your dog out on daily walks and outings in order to work on his/her leash skills, manners, and social skills. These breeds make great additions to active families who will pamper them, but who will also work with them, as they are smart dogs who need leadership, structure, plenty of activity and mental stimulation. 
If you are new to German Shepherds (and other herding breeds), please research the breed to make sure this is the dog for you. We ask that you consider the time and financial commitment that your German Shepherd (or other herding breed) dog will require before applying for one. Please review the section on our website () 'Is a HUGS Dog Right for You?' for additional information.
Hugo is a handsome, very sweet young boy who came to us from a Reservation in SD, after he was found injured. Hugo is now fully healed, and ready for his furever home!
Hugo is approximately 2.5 yo, and such a wonderful guy! He loves his people, belly rubs, and his doggy pillow. He enjoys walks and going on outings. He would likely enjoy jogging too, as he's up for anything that involves hanging out with his humans! Hugo is truly perfect, because he also loves to relax in the house and cuddle up for a movie! Hugo really loves his Kong toy filled with peanut butter, working for treats, and mealtime! He is very food-motivated, very smart, and eager to please. Hugo loves being around other dogs and playing with them, and can get a little anxious when left home alone, so we would strongly prefer for him to have a dog buddy in his forever home. Hugo is a truly fabulous dog, fun and playful, but with a very pleasant energy level, and so very affectionate! Hugo is unsure (scared) around strangers, and needs very slow, managed introductions to new people in his home (or to be crated). A calm home with pet parents who are home a lot, and without a lot of different people going in and out would be best for this adorable boy. Hugo is a fantastic companion who does not require a lot of exercise. He is sweet, bright and loving. Hugo would absolutely love a quiet home with a pet parent who is home a lot, and a dog buddy! He is great around dogs of all sizes. Hugo is looking for a patient forever pet parent who will not rush him, who will allow him plenty of time to adjust to his new home, and who will continue to provide gentle, patient socialization. He is an absolute delight!
