Meet Hugo – Your High-Energy Adventure Buddy!
Those eyes! Hugo is a stunning 17-month-old ~Staffordshire Terrier/Pointer mix who is ready to find his forever home. Neutered, vaccinated, and housebroken, Hugo is an athletic, intelligent, and affectionate dog looking for the right match. Here is his recent video showing off his training and cuteness: https://youtu.be/1wVItZsxioA?si=5bx1tog6fWRYaf_v

Hugo is available for adoption through Best Friend Dog and Animal Adoption, Inc. in Cranford, NJ. This energetic and funny pup bonds deeply with his person and thrives with an owner who understands his high-energy needs. He’ll shine in a home that can provide plenty of stimulation, activities, and structure to keep him happy and engaged. At the same time, Hugo loves to snuggle and enjoys quiet moments, making him a great balance of active and affectionate.

Hugo is dog-tolerant on walks but would do best as the only pet in the home so he can soak up all your love and attention. Due to his energy level, a home with older kids who can keep up with his playful spirit would be ideal.

A top-level PSA trainer has evaluated Hugo and said he would excel in dog sports! He’s currently undergoing obedience training and socialization, making him an even more amazing companion. Whether you’re looking for a running partner, a dog sports champion, or a loyal and loving best friend, Hugo is ready to be your perfect match.

Meet Xena, a petite bully with a heartwarming story of resilience and hope. Abandoned in South Jersey and battling a life-threatening condition called pyometra, Xena’s journey seemed bleak. But thanks to a timely rescue and extraordinary care, this courageous girl has made a miraculous recovery and is now thriving in a loving foster home.

Once used for breeding, Xena’s past didn’t break her gentle spirit. She’s a sweet, shy soul who has so much love to give. Her favorite pastime? Carrying her beloved stuffed animal “babies” around and cuddling up with them for comfort. Housebroken and crate trained, Xena is a low-maintenance companion who is easy to love.

With moderate energy, Xena delights in her daily walks and will happily match your pace, whether it’s a leisurely stroll or an energetic jaunt. When it’s time to relax, she’s the ultimate cuddle buddy, reveling in quiet moments of affection.

Xena is ready for a fresh start with a family who will shower her with the love, care, and devotion she so deeply deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion to brighten your days, Xena can’t wait to meet you and become your forever friend.
