Diego's Story

Hi there, Diego here. I lost my owner and wandered the streets with my siblings for a long time. Because of this, I'm a little nervous but with some patience, I am the most loving guy! I'm good with cats and other small dogs as long as we are properly introduced. I'm even house and kennel trained- I have great potential. I'm afraid of children so I would really prefer and adult only home, but I do promise to be loyal for life.
