Meet Diego - PENDING

THE FIRST STEP IN THE PROCESS IS SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. WE CANNOT ANSWER EMAILS ASKING ABOUT A DOG'S AVAILABILITY. IF IT IS LISTED WITHOUT THE WORD "PENDING" IT MEANS IT IS AVAILABLE.

PLEASE COPY AND PASTE THIS LINK TO OUR APPLICATION:
https://tlps.wufoo.com/forms/the-little-pink-shelter-adoption-application/

The saying goes, "Dogs are Man's Best Friend", but for Diego, "Humans are Dog's Best Friend"! Diego is the most human-loving cuddlebug we've ever met! True to his breed-heritage, he very quickly picks “his human” and forms fast and deep loyalties to his person. He'll almost refuse to eat or potty if his person is near because he prefers to be right by them - - perfect for the dog owner who is looking for a constant companion.

Diego loves hikes and thinks tug-o-war with rope toys is the best game. He prefers to collect his toys rather than bring them back for a game of fetch, and antlers or stuffed kongs are his favorite chew toys. Also true to his breed heritage, he's mouthy and everything is fair game -- fingers, heels and forearms included!! -- so he's best placed in a home without children. Diego needs an experienced owner who understands the breed, provides mental stimulation as well as physical activity, and who is smarter than he is - - and that's not easy!

Diego enjoys other dogs once he's properly introduced, but if there are other dogs in the house he will need patience, supervision and an experienced human packleader who understands dog behavior.

Cattle dogs are not easy dogs.

Diego is about 10 months old, he weighs about 40 pounds with a bit more to grow, and we can't see much more than Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler in him, but he might have something else mixed in. NO CHILDREN OR APARTMENTS PLEASE. If you're looking for a shadow with 4 legs, please visit www.pinkshelter.org for more information about the adoption process. Full vetting, microchip and neuter included in his $500 adoption fee. Transport fee is additional $145. IF YOU HAVE AOL or YAHOO PLEASE CHECK YOUR SPAM FILE FOR OUR RESPONSE
