My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Deigo Is such a good boy and deserves a home so much, hes been in foster care for almost his entire life.

Deigo is good with dogs, but it must be the right dog. This is his best gal pal Maggie who he gets to visit with sometimes. Deigo needs a home with a Maggie type dog. He needs that no nonsense older dog who will show him the ropes and keep him in line. He absolutely adores Maggie and loves and respects her. He takes correction from her beautifully. However if put with the wrong dog it could easily turn to an altercation. Deigo doesnt get that most dogs don’t appreciate his rough and tumble paws and spit flying play style and they get mad at him rally fast and he doesn’t get that he’s making them mad and keeps engaging them in play when they are ready to tear into him. Poor dude just doesnt get it. There has to be a home out there with a Maggie, there has to be. Or a home with no other dogs is ok to. Deigo also does really well in a controlled setting taking walks with other dogs. He’s been waiting so so long for a family. Please give our guy a share .Deigo is fully vetted and 2 years old.
