Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Diego is a sweet little boy who is lucky to be alive. His owner, a young lady, turned him in because he didn't like her new boyfriend (and her boyfriend didn't like the dog). The high kill shelter in GA took that in as if he is an aggressive dog and put him right away on a death row. He was saved by Southern HOPE shortly before he was scheduled to be euthanized to give him a chance in life.
Diego end up to be wonderful, very laid back Chihuahua. Loving and affectionate towards those he knows. Gentle and very calm. Not a barker. Rides well in cars, leash trained and totally housetrained. Good with other dogs. Just a perfect little gentleman.
Wonderful pet for someone who is looking for a small, loyal, loving companion. Perfect pet to take along for short walk and then snuggle with under a blanket during long cold winter nights.
Short coat requires minimal care. Regular brushing will keep the coat shiny and clean of dirt and dead hair. Bathe only as needed. Daily walk on a leash will benefit his physical and mental health and keep him very happy.
Diego is about 5 years old and weights around 6 lbs. Full grown.
The adoption includes neuter, vaccinations, de-wormings and microchip. He is also heartworm negative. The adoption fee also includes microchip registration. He is current on flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.
Thank you for your interest in Diego. The rescue who is bringing Diego has the information on Diego's background. The rescue has asked Dog Days to pre-screen interested adopters for all of their dogs coming to our event.
APPLICATION FORM: http://godogdays.org/find-my-new-best-friend.htm (Copy and paste to browser.)
If you would like to begin the application process, please fill in the form at the link above and we will review your information, call your personal and well as vet references. If you are renting, please note you must have a written letter of permission from your landlord to own a dog on their property. Dog Days will be conducting interviews of prospective adopters. As a policy, Dog Days will not hold dogs for potential adopters so it is important to come to the event by 11:00am Saturday morning if you have your heart set on a particular dog. We will be posting more information on each dog as we get closer to the event weekend which is June 23-24 at Chester Fairgrounds. PLEASE NOTE THAT DOGS ARE GIVEN TO THE BEST HOME, NOT FIRST IN LINE.

We hope you will understand the careful scrutiny of potential adopters is not only for the safety and well-being of the dog but also for a positive experience for your household. Thank you for saving the life of a shelter dog through adoption; you are truly a hero.
