Diego's Story

Meet Diego! This adorable 2-year-old Bichon/Maltese mix weighs just 10 pounds and is basically the definition of a little lap dog. With his fluffy white coat, sweet personality, and silly little ways, Diego is sure to steal your heart! Diego is friendly, loving, cuddly, curious, and wonderfully quiet. His favorite things include cuddling, getting treats, exploring his surroundings, and—most importantly—being in your lap! The second you sit down, don’t be surprised if Diego hops right up to claim his favorite spot. He’ll also happily follow his person around like a tiny, fluffy shadow. <br/>Because of his small size, Diego can be a little shy around big dogs. He’s looking for a home where he can feel safe and secure, with children 7 years old or older who understand how to be gentle with a little dog. He would also do best with someone who is home more often than not, as he truly loves being with his people. Diego is currently working on his house and crate training and is making progress as he learns the ropes. He is up to date on vaccines and microchipped, and his adoption fee will include his future neuter. If you’re looking for a sweet little shadow who will happily follow you around, make you laugh, and immediately curl up in your lap, Diego might just be your perfect match. Reach out to adopt@carolinapaws.com if you’d like to meet Diego. <br/><br/>We only accept Adoption Applications within a certain radius of where are volunteers are based. Currently, we are able to accept applications from Mecklenburg and Union counties (NC), and parts of Cabarrus (NC), Lancaster (SC), and York (SC) counties

Carolina Pet Adoption & Welfare Society (PAWS)'s Adoption Policy
We have a variety of cats, dogs, kittens and puppies waiting for new forever families. Before meeting any of our available pets, we ask that you review our Adoption Requirements and complete a brief application. It's in everyone's best interest to find the right match, and your cooperation is greatly appreciated. As soon as your application is approved (generally within 3-5days), Carolina P.A.W.S. will get in touch with you to arrange for you to meet your new pet! Filling out an application does not obligate you to adopt nor guarantee and adoption. Adoption Requirements: An application must be submitted prior to meeting the pet. Vets and references will be contacted; If you vet office requires client approve before giving out information, we ask that you contact their office once you submit an application. No animal will ever be adopted to "outside only" homes, as we firmly believe pets have a right to the warmth and safety of the indoors. Some dogs may require a fenced in yard or may not be suitable for an apartment, condo or townhome. A meet and greet will be arranged by a Carolina P.A.W.S. representative. A contract must be signed at the time of the adoption. An adoption fee is required to help defray the cost of the pet's spay /neuter, vaccinations, microchip and any other medical cost. All applicants need to be 21 years of age or older to apply. An applicant must be fully employed and proof of employment may be requested. If you reside in a rental property, we will contact the property owner to confirm that an animal is allowed. Please note: We will occasionally allow adoptions of puppies and kittens that are not spayed/neutered; however, the adopter must bring the animal to our vet for spay/neuter . This date will be scheduled prior to adoption and will be stated on the adoption contract. We require the use of our veterinarians because our program relies on subsidized healthcare from our animal hospitals. We will follow up to ensure that all animals are brought in for scheduled spay/neuters. *** We only accept applications within a certain radius of where are volunteers are based in the greater Charlotte NC area. ***
