Some shelter pets just stay with you — and Hugo & Mercedes were two of them. I first met this adorable, perfectly mismatched pair at Chesapeake Animal Services in December 2024. A gentle bonded duo, they were surrendered together and instantly captured the hearts of everyone they met.
After seeing their feature on 92.9 The Wave, K9 Justice League stepped in and rescued Hugo and Mercedes, giving them the chance they deserved for a brighter future.
Mercedes, the sweet senior of the pair, spent her final year in a loving foster home, where she knew comfort, affection, and family. She crossed the rainbow bridge surrounded by love, not loneliness — and that’s all any of us can hope for our senior shelter pets. 🌈💕
And Hugo? His chapter continues — and he’s thriving. Watch to see where he is today and how far his journey has taken him.
