About Diego

Diego is a 3-month-old husky/shepherd mix with a sweet, independent, and affectionate nature. He’s the kind of puppy just as happy napping quietly by himself as curling up for a cuddle when you least expect it. Diego already gets along well with his foster dog sister and would thrive in a home with another friendly pup for company. Smart and gentle, Diego is picking up the basics fast—he sits, takes treats respectfully, and is making progress with potty pads. He’s still learning crate training and isn’t quite ready for leashed walks, but he shows real promise if you put in some consistency and care. He hasn’t met children yet but strikes a balanced, adaptable temperament that would fit most homes. If you’re after a pup willing to shower you with affection and learn alongside you, Diego is more than ready. He’ll arrive neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and started on heartworm prevention.
