Hughie the Staffie
Hughie was picked up from the pound after he had been left there by his owner’s family. Hughie’s original owner died and the remaining family were unable to look after him. The Staffie is 7-years-old and is still full of life.

He loves his cuddles on the sofa, chew treats, and is food obsessed. He likes to be challenged and would benefit from having an adult around a lot of the time. He enjoys puzzles and games to keep him stimulated.More under this adMore under this ad
Hughie is completely house trained and responds to basic commands such as ‘sit’ ‘wait’ and ‘walk on’. His foster family are still working on ‘stay’.
His perfect home
Hughie’s ideal home would be with someone who is often at home as he loves company. He can live with children over 15 as he is a lively and boisterous boy. He cannot live with any other pets. His owners should be patient, calm and understanding and help him settle into his new home.

Hughie would be the ideal dog for someone active who loves to go on daily walks and engage with their pooch with mental activities such as scent work or puzzle toys.
