About Diego
Meet Diego. Diego is a young terrier with the body of a velvet hippo and the confidence of a dog who's never worried about his weight. Right now, he's working on shedding about 20 extra pounds, so anyone up for slow walks and skipping the extra fries will be a good match (he'd rather lean than jog, anyway). Diego is convinced he's a lap dog, and personal space isn't really on his radar. If you sit, he's climbing in for a cuddle. He’s deeply affectionate, always pressing close to his people and volunteering himself as a self-appointed lap warmer. Being a terrier, Diego definitely has opinions. If a stranger moves too fast or seems suspicious, he might give a low warning rumbly noise—standard little dog attitude, but it comes out a lot more dramatic when you’re built like Diego. The right adopter for him will be confident, advocate for him in awkward snacks-in-public situations, and keep him to his health routine. If that sounds like you, you’ll get a loyal dog with plenty of personality, a built-in security system, and endless comedy. Just don’t let him near the fries. Here’s a bonus: Diego’s sun sign is Aquarius—expect a free thinker with a quirky side! Ready to make him part of the family? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
