This is Hugo - yes, I realize he's not truly a boxer... but he is too cute for words!! This handsome German Shepherd was in one of our area shelters when I visited a boxer we were bringing into rescue. He would never have come to my attention, if it hadn't been for his wonderful manners and winning way! This sweetheart locked eyes with me, stood up on his hind legs and leaned into the bars, begging to be released! What a smart dog! He had to know I'd be a goner once I saw a performance like that!!!

These pictures don't really do him justice. He was a little camera-shy, but it was just the flash. He was wonderful in his bath, loving every dirt-dissolving minute of it. He didn't give me a problem when I cleaned his ears, and was thrilled when we went out for a long walk afterward. 

This is a truly wonderful dog, and will make the perfect pet for a family seeking a large dog. He's not huge by German Shepherd standards, and has a longer than typical coat, but is a love-bug beyond belief, and can't wait to move in with the right family.

Because he entered rescue as a stray, he cannot be placed with children under 12. He's up to date on shots and will be neutered tomorrow. He appears to enjoy the company of other dogs, but does want to chase squirrels he sees on his walks (I told him to "leave it," and he did!). A little training will go a long way with Hugo, and you won't be disappointed. Please contact:
