A "clever boy" who was rescued by RSPCA inspectors is looking for his forever home in Suffolk.

Hugo, who is one-year-old, was rescued from a property in Suffolk by RSPCA inspectors this year and is now being looked after at Suffolk Central branch in Martlesham.

He has been described by staff at the branch as "such a lovely chap" and has been nicknamed "Handsome Hugo".

They say he enjoys being in the company of his favourite humans and getting lots of love and attention.

He also enjoys running around our enclosed field and playing with some of his favourite toys. Although Hugo can’t live with other dogs at the moment, the staff feel he would benefit from socialising with suitably matched dogs on walks and in other relaxed environments.

Hugo will benefit from an active home where his owners can spend time working on his basic training, including loose lead walking as he can be quite strong on the lead. He is a clever boy who will really flourish in the right home.

He may be able to live with children aged 13 years and over but cannot live with other dogs.

The staff at RSCPA say experience may be beneficial in order to take care of Hugo but it is not essential.
