Meet Hugo — a gentle, resilient pup who has already endured more than any dog should.

Hugo recently came into Almost Home Canine Rescue as an owner surrender from the Cheyenne River community. Our team quickly discovered that he has been living with an old, untreated injury that now requires major medical intervention. At this time, our veterinarians are assessing whether his leg can be saved, or if an amputation will give him the pain-free future he deserves.

What we do know is that Hugo is sweet, trusting, and ready to embrace a new beginning — he just needs a little help getting there.

Your donation will go directly toward:

🐾 Diagnostic exams and imaging
🐾 Surgery (limb-saving procedure or amputation)
🐾 Pain management and post-op care
🐾 Follow-up appointments and rehabilitation

Every dollar brings Hugo one step closer to healing, comfort, and a future filled with love instead of pain.

🐾 Update on Hugo – Encouraging News! (Updated 1/9/26)

We’re happy to share a hopeful update on Hugo’s journey!

Since coming into our care, Hugo has started showing interest in using his injured leg, which is an incredibly positive sign. After further evaluation, our veterinarian is optimistic that his leg can be saved — something we were not sure would be possible at the beginning of his care.

Hugo is now scheduled for FHO surgery on January 13th, a procedure that will relieve his pain and give him the best chance at long-term mobility and comfort. While recovery will take time, this surgery is a huge step forward in giving Hugo a healthy, happy future.

Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, and supported Hugo so far. Your generosity is making this life-changing care possible, and we can’t wait to continue sharing updates as Hugo heals. 💛
