Hugo is an oh so handsome 2 year-old, male Rottweiler who was pulled off of death row at the NYC City shelter and waiting to go to a foster home today but the foster had a family emergency and now cannot take him... so we are URGENTLY looking for another foster or adopter for him as he is now again in danger of being put down because there is no space at the shelter!

Hugo was brought in as a stray and was very stressed to find himself in a kennel and was very untrustworthy of anyone at first and he did not do well on his behavior test, however several kennel workers say he's a good guy he just needs to get to know you and once he does he's your best buddy. Isn't that the case with most stressed and scared dogs?

He's not a small boy at 100 lbs and he's a bit underweight as well so he will probably gain 5-10 more lbs. Unfortunately, being stressed at the shelter has made him come down with kennel cough so it's best that he go to a home with no other dogs or where he can be quarantined as kennel cough is contagious to other dogs.

Unfortunately we don't know how he is with cats or kids so we would recommend he go to an adult-only home or with older kids.

If you are EXPERIENCED WITH ROTTIES and can open your HEART AND HOME to Hugo to give him a place to recover from his cold and a place to feel safe, pls respond to this post ASAP or call #917-543-6193 and leave your contact info.

*Please note this dog is located in the Metropolitan NYC Area ... transport can be arranged provided certain criteria is met*
