When Diego came to us this sweet boy was absolutely terrified of the world around him. He was so scared that he couldn’t even walk on a leash. Everywhere he needed to go, someone had to carry him.
But even then, Diego had the sweetest little heart. He might have been afraid of the world, but he sure wasn’t afraid of cuddles! He’d happily sit in your lap and soak up every bit of love you were willing to give. ❤️
Diego was one of the 80+ dogs rescued from a heartbreaking hoarding situation. His first year of life was spent in a filthy, overcrowded home where food was scarce and going outside wasn’t even an option.
And look at this handsome boy now!
Since August, Diego has gained weight, learned to walk on a leash, and started coming out of his shell. He’s gentle, affectionate, wonderful with other dogs, and getting more confident as he discovers that life has some pretty great things to offer!
But there’s one thing Diego still hasn’t gotten to experience… having a family of his very own. 🥹
We’d love to see this sweet boy trading shelter life for lazy mornings on the couch, walks around the neighborhood, and a person who loves him more than anything.
Diego has already come such a long way, and we have a feeling the best version of him is still waiting to come out.
He just needs someone to give him that chance. ❤️
