About Diego Jr.

Diego Jr. approaches the world with wide-eyed curiosity and a playful streak that never really fades, even when he's feeling shy. He's happiest chasing after toys or a good game of fetch, and his favorite walks are the kind where he sets the pace, stopping just a little longer to take things in. Diego Jr. has practice sharing life with other dogs, and most canine greetings turn into solid friendship. His crate training gives him a safe spot when he needs a break, but mostly, he just wants to settle in as part of someone's everyday life. Loud noises and being alone can rattle him, but he warms up steadily with gentle, patient reassurance. Once he trusts you, Diego Jr.'s affectionate and active spirit really comes forward. He has Masticatory Myositis—a jaw muscle condition that gives his head a slightly sunken look. The condition is well managed with medication and regular checkups, and while he needs ongoing care and safe chews to keep his muscles working, it's not contagious and in no way dulls his loving personality. Diego Jr. thrives on a steady routine and needs adopters firmly committed not just to his comfort but to his ongoing health. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
