Meet the marvelous Diego! This delightful 1-year-old Shepherd mix is a beautiful blend of sweetness and gentleness, weighing in at about 45 pounds of pure love! 💖 Now, he might be a bit shy at first, but trust me, once you break through that initial shell, his warm personality will shine brighter than a thousand suns! 🌞 He's a thoughtful boy who's all about bonding with his people and soaking up the love. Diego is a social butterfly with his furry friends too! 🐕🤗 He's great with other dogs and would absolutely adore having a canine buddy alongside him. Imagine them playing fetch or just lounging together! Isn't that just heartwarming? You’ll be thrilled to know that Diego is crate trained and has been working diligently with a trainer to build up his confidence and manners. Recently, he even took a big leap and went on his very first public adventure – can you believe it? 🌍 He explored near a mall and marveled at the beautiful Lake Harveston in Temecula, CA! He even enjoyed some delightful people-watching and learned how to walk on the leash like a champ! His favorite thing? Long walks in the great outdoors, once he's feeling comfortable! 🚶‍♂️🌳 Now, let’s chat about mealtime. Diego can get a little snarky around his food when other pups are nearby, but fear not! This is easily corrected with some loving guidance and structure. With that in mind, a home without young children would be best, as they might not yet understand the importance of boundaries when it comes to dining! It’s not that he doesn’t love kids; he just prefers a peaceful mealtime environment. 🍽️👶 Diego needs a family that can shower him with patience, consistency, and positive training techniques. With the right support, this handsome boy will blossom into a confident and loyal companion ready for all the adventures life has to offer! So, picture this: cozy evenings, fun outings, and peaceful moments together – it’s all within reach! 🏡❤️ In case you’re curious about Diego's sun sign, born on January 1st, he’s a Capricorn! Those Capricorns sure know how to bring stability and dedication to the table! 🐐 Remember, potential adopters must apply through the Buddy App to bring this loving boy home. Hurry and don’t miss out on the opportunity to add this wonderful companion to your family! 🥳
