Diego is a medium-sized shepherd mix at about four years old. He’s got a beautifully soft black coat and a playful streak, always ready for a round of fetch or to parade around with his favorite toy in tow. Diego finds joy in the sunshine and is happiest when he’s got some belly rubs and a collection of balls and stuffies to keep him entertained. He does best with another friendly dog in the house—canine buddies bring out his best, and he’s truly at ease with fellow pups. With humans, Diego can be shy at first, hanging back until he’s had time to build trust. Once that bond is there, though, he’s fiercely loyal and quickly becomes a devoted, “ride-or-die” member of the family. He responds well to treats and enjoys working for them, which makes training more of a game than a chore. Diego is soulful and sharp, with a gentle way about him that earns your respect. He’s looking for someone who understands that good relationships can take a little time—and are worth the investment. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
