Meet Diego The lovable Staffordshire mix! Diego is a big, handsome 1.5 year old pup weighing in at 79 pounds, with the kind of soulful eyes that tell you he has been through a lot but still chooses love every time. He is a professional napper with a side job as your full time shadow. Diego loves lounging, following his people from room to room, and soaking up attention whenever it is offered. He has a calm, easygoing vibe most of the day, with little bursts of playful energy sprinkled in. He still has some puppy in him and does not always realize just how big he is, which just adds to his charm. Diego has been settling into a foster home with three other dogs and is doing well. He enjoys going on walks and then happily decompressing once everyone is home. He does best with non reactive dogs and can play a bit rough, so he will thrive with dogs who match his energy or in a home where he can be the center of attention. He is good with kids, but due to his size and goofiness, a home that understands big dog energy is best. He is looking for a more relaxed, low chaos environment where he can truly settle in. He is a smart boy too. He is great on leash, knows sit, is learning paw, and takes treats gently. Diego’s story has not been an easy one. He was returned once when a resident dog in the home did not accept him, and he has some visible scars that suggest he did not come out of that situation unscathed. He was later adopted again, but ended up living on the streets for about three months before being found tied to a pole and brought back to safety. When he returned, he was dealing with a double ear infection and skin issues, conditions he has been treated for and is on the mend. Despite everything, Diego remains incredibly loving, resilient, and trusting. What he needs now is a patient, committed adopter who will give him the stability he has never truly had. Someone who understands that he may need a little time to fully decompress, but once he does, he will be the most loyal, devoted companion you could ask for. Diego is not looking for a perfect home, just the right one. A calm space, steady love, and someone who will not give up on him.
