HUGO

Mixed Breed · Male

We hope you are ready to meet our big Akita puppies. Hugo is the older brother, and he has a character that matches his Akita breed. We are looking for people with experience working with dogs. He already shows signs of dominance towards other dogs and humans, so he needs work. He learns quickly and we believe nothing will be a problem for him. It would be ideal to enroll him in dog school or socialization classes so our smart Hugo can master everything for normal life outside the shelter. Currently, he shares his home at the shelter with two sisters towards whom he shows protective and dominant behavior. A female dog could wait for him in a new home, although he would enjoy being a prince alone. If you want to give our beautiful Hugo a chance to experience life outside the shelter, contact us! He is 53 cm tall and was born on 09/2025. Microchip number: 191035000265677

Nadamo se da ste spremni na predstavljanje naših velikih akita bebica! Hugo je stigao u sklonište sa svoje dvije sestre. Hugo je veliki brat, karakterno je u skladu sa svojom pasminom akita te za njega tražimo ljude sa iskustvom sa tom pasminom. Već sada pokazuje znakove dominacije prema drugim psima ali i prema ljudima te sa njime treba stalno raditi po pitanju odgoja. Brzo uči i vjerujemo da mu ništa ne bude predstavljalo problem. Idealno bi bilo da ga se upiše u školu za pse ili tečaj socijalizacije kako bi naš pametan Hugo savladao sve za normalni život izvan skloništa. Trenutno svoj dom u skloništu dijeli sa svojim sestrama prema kojima se pokazuje zaštitnički i dominantan. U novom domu ga može čekati ženski pas iako bi najviše uživao kao princ jedinac. Ako želite pružiti našem lijepom Hugiju priliku da osjeti život izvan skloništa, javite nam se! Visok je 53cm i rođen 09/2025. Broj mikročipa: 191035000265677.

About HUGO

What life with HUGO looks like

HUGO is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Udruga Spas Varaždin in Varaždin.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇭🇷Adopting from Croatia

Croatian shelters include sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID in the adoption process. Several work with Italian and German rescue networks for placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting HUGO, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about HUGO?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Udruga Spas Varaždin handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw HUGO on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt HUGO if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Udruga Spas Varaždin will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is HUGO already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if HUGO isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Udruga Spas Varaždin early rather than rehoming privately; they know HUGO and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (HR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
