Story
Meet Diego & Margie — A Bond That Shouldn’t Be Broken Diego and Margie are a special pair of senior pups who have been through a lot together, and now they’re looking for a home where they can spend their golden years side by side. Diego is 10 years old, and Margie is approximately 15. Margie also has some vision impairment, so having Diego by her side is especially important. These two are bonded and need to be adopted together. We may not know much about their past, but we do know one thing for certain: they have each other, and that relationship matters. They came to Satchel’s Last Resort from Animal Services, and unfortunately, we don’t have much of a backstory on them. Sometimes the dogs who need us most come with more questions than answers. What we can give Diego and Margie now is the chance to finally have a safe, loving home where they can relax, be spoiled, and enjoy their retirement together. They aren’t looking for a family to take them on a grand adventure—they’re looking for someone who understands the beauty of senior dogs and the special bond between two dogs who have been there for each other. Diego and Margie are a package deal. They’ve made it this far together, and we’re determined to help them find a home where they can stay together for the rest of their lives.
