Walks and ridiculous Husky conversations. A food bowl that gets filled every single day. A human he can trust. And a home where nobody is counting down the hours he has left.<br/><br/> **Diego is available for adoption through Woof Tribe Sanctuary & Rescue.**<br/><br/>If you're an experienced, committed dog owner ready to give this gorgeous piebald boy the safe and permanent home he's been waiting for, apply to adopt Diego.<br/><br/>**We fought like hell to give him a future.**<br/><br/>Now we need someone to give him **forever.**
