Playful Terrier Hugo is Up For Adoption in Alexandria

By James Cullum

Even though Hugo looks full grown, the nine-month old terrier has a lot of growing left to do.

A busy bundle of energy, Hugo is looking for a new home via the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria.

“As a young adult, Hugo is still growing into his size and energy level, and he’d love a home with adults or older children to help him learn to be his best doggy self,” AWLA spokesperson Gina Hardter told ALXnow. “Like every puppy, Hugo loves toys, and will carry his favorites with him when playing in the yard, on walks and anywhere toys can be enjoyed.  His ideal home has a bed full of toys with fun textures and sound.”
