Hughie

Hughie is a handsome 5.5-year-old Bernese/Aussie mix weighing 55 pounds. He came to us three years ago from Texas after being found as a stray. During his vet workup, it was discovered he had multiple embedded pellets consistent with being used as target practice prior to rescue. As a result of those old injuries, Hughie has a slight head tilt, occasional unsteadiness, and hearing loss on one side. Because of his hearing loss, sudden movement from behind can startle him. He is now safely back with us. Despite everything, Hughie remains a resilient dog who did exceptionally well in daycare—so much so that staff were emotional when he left. He is currently fostered with other dogs and does well in a group setting. Hughie can get annoyed with dominant personalities from other dogs, and gets a bit grumpy about sharing cuddles in his home.
