When Hugo first arrived, he was utterly overstimulated—manic with pleasure, chasing birds endlessly, and obsessive about trying to find mice within the compost bin. He discovered it exhausting to settle, as if he didn’t fairly know tips on how to swap off.
However what a distinction every week makes! Hugo has now began to loosen up, taking little naps all through the day and turning into rather more content material. He’s been having fun with pack walks, operating and taking part in fortunately with different canines, sharing toys, and really embracing life once more.
Settled together with his toys to occupy him
Assembly new canines for the primary time
There are a few issues his future household might want to work on:
- Meals guarding with different canines – Hugo was beforehand an solely canine and doesn’t prefer to share his meals. He doesn’t guard towards individuals, simply different canines, and though his foster carer is making nice progress with him, it’s one thing to proceed engaged on. In the intervening time, he eats individually from the resident canine, and this association works properly.
- Worry of grooming – Hugo had a foul expertise in his previous when being clipped, which has left him frightened of scissors and clippers.
