About Diego

Diego has been waiting far too long for his forever home. At around 3 years old and weighing 50 lbs, he arrived at the rescue as a young pup and has grown up here. He's faced some challenges in getting the hang of being a dog, especially with housebreaking. Although he’s made progress, he still needs a committed adopter to continue working on leash potty training. This sweet boy is good with other dogs and motivated by food, making him eager to connect. However, he has a puppy-like demeanor and is not suitable for homes with young children. Diego pulls on the leash and will thrive with a patient, dog-savvy owner who understands he needs structure and consistency. He is determined to learn and improve; he just requires someone who won’t give up on him. Adopting Diego means giving him the opportunity to grow in a loving home instead of a kennel. If you're the right match, he will surely reward your patience and effort with loyal companionship. Think you could be Diego's person?
