My story

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

Hi!  I am Diego!   I am 1.5 years old, the rescues best guess at my breed is LOVABLE, okay okay if you have to label me as something, lets call me a Pitbull and Lab mix.  The most important parts about me is my PERSONALITY!   When I get up in the morning, I love to run, jump and hop around while outside with the other dogs.........some days its almost like I have springs on my feet so I can go faster and do quicker circles while jumping around.  When my humans are working, I like to just take a rest by their feet or next to the desk so I can hear all the details about work conference calls AND can nudge my foster mom when its time for a break.  

A little about my past, I didn't want to put this but my foster mom said everyone wants to know as much about me as possible......so here it goes.  I was left behind in a shed, when my humans moved at around 12-weeks.   I found myself in an outside pound until January 20th (I remember that magical day like it was my birthday); I had been in the shelter for 9-months......it was SOOO loud, dogs barking all the time, nice humans to feed me twice a day, but very minimal interaction or basic training.   So although it felt like my birthday it was VERY scary, all these humans wanting to love on me, a crate with a warm bed, potty outside all new concepts for me.  

Enough about my past, I am a handsome boy (my foster momma tells me this everyday), I still have a few quirks that we are working on and will be a work in progress for my new forever family, BUT I have SOOOOO much love to give and SOOOO many adventures I am ready to take with the right family.   Quirks you ask?  Well, I used to take time meeting new people, but last night we had people over and I walked right up to the adults and humans, to let them know I wanted pets.   I grabbed some pets and walked away, only to realize I liked these new humans so I went back for more pets.  I guess my foster mom was right, most people are friendly….i am just glad I finally believed her :)    Now on to some of my other new adventures, did you see my video?    I have realized I ❤️ â¤ï¸ the sprinkler, even if it’s supposed to be watering the grass, I like to jump and catch the water.  

Diego’s adoption fee is $150.00 which includes all shots, neuter, microchip and 1 month of heartworm preventative. If you are interested, please complete the  Adoption Application  on our website at  a4apetpantry.org

Disclaimer: Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of our dogs, we are only guessing at breed mix.
