Hugo - Belgian Shepherd Malinois and Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Chico, California

Meet Hugo

Hugo is a 4-month-old Belgian Malinois mix who's already 30+ lbs and just getting started. He came to us after his previous owner reached out for help finding homes for her remaining puppies, and we're so glad she did.

Don't let the breed fool you. Hugo's current mission in life? Finding the comfiest spot on the couch or bed and snuggling up with his human. This boy is a certified cuddle bug who just wants to be close to you, whether you're binge-watching a show or taking a nap.

What to know about Hugo:

He's going to be a big boy, already over 30 lbs at just 4 months old, so plan for a large dog
Belgian Malinois mixes are smart and active, so he'll benefit from training, exercise, and mental stimulation as he grows
Right now he's all puppy love and snuggles, the perfect time to bond and build good habits together

Hugo's got the heart of a lapdog in what's going to be a very big body. If you want a loyal, affectionate companion who'll grow into your adventure buddy, he's your guy.
