Diego's Story

Diego Shepherd Mix Male 38lbs 4 yo. Dogs Diego is a sweet, mini sheppy type of playful boy who just wants some sun to lay in, belly rubs to be gotten, and did someone say— Fetch?! Holy toys, balls, and stuffies are his true best friends!! He's the guy who proudly carries a friend with him when out walking the world! He would absolutely love a home with another dog to hang with. He is shy towards new human relationships, and takes a minute to warm up. For those fellow intuitive, life-loving, charismatic, and passionate people— Diego is worth the time it takes to create trust in a friendship, as he's a ride-or-die type of family member. He is pure joy with a black gorgeous coat, that is out of this world soft. Special guy, with a lot of brain, soul, and heart. He is also extremely treat motivated, so work is FUN!!

Mission Compassion Paw Rescue's Adoption Policy

MCP is a Chicago foster based rescue. We focus on dogs who need extra advocacy, including: Pit bull-type dogs, senior animals, animals with medical or behavioral needs, and bonded pairs. We don’t view adoption as placing animals, we view it as welcoming new humans into our Pack. Because of this, our process is intentionally thoughtful and hands-on. Many approved applications ultimately result in us recommending a different dog with stronger match potential. This is part of our responsibility as advocates and something we are known and respected for. Our adoption process typically includes at least three meetings (often more) to ensure a strong, lasting match. These meetings allow time to build a relationship, communicate openly, and support a healthy transition. We are full disclosure, we know our animals well and are honest about their needs. We're hands-on from first meet-and-greet through decompression and beyond, and we are comfortable saying no at any point if the fit isn’t right. We look for organic connections and humans who understand that successful Forever relationships take time, patience, and commitment. Going slow matters to us, for our animals and for our humans. Important Adoption Expectations: All potential adopters are expected to meet their match at least three times with all household members participating in the process. Out-of-state adoptions may be considered for exceptional matches only. Multiple visits to the Chicagoland area are required. We do not ship animals. We do not allow: Gifting animals, surprise adoptions, or any adoptions without full household involvement. Adoption Fees: Dogs: $600 | Bonded pairs: $900 | Cats: $250, $325 for a pair We hold our animals and our humans close. Quality over quantity. Always.
