Meet Diego, the shepherd with the perfect mix of chill companion and playful best mate! At 4 years old, Diego has mastered the art of family life and is ready to settle into a home where he can enjoy both adventures and lazy afternoons by your side. This handsome boy is gentle, calm, and affectionate, but don't let his relaxed nature fool you. Bring out a squeaky toy and you'll discover Diego's fun-loving side in an instant. In Diego's world, squeaky toys are quite possibly the greatest invention ever! Diego already has some lovely manners under his belt and enjoys learning with his people. His new family can continue building his skills through positive reinforcement, helping him grow into an even more wonderful companion. He has all the foundations of a fantastic family dog and is ready to fit right into home life. While Diego hasn't been tested with cats in our shelter, we believe that with careful introductions and guidance, he could learn to peacefully cohabitate with a feline friend. If you're looking for a loyal companion who is equal parts gentle soul, playful goofball, and devoted friend, Diego might just be the one. In fact, he's your best friend... you just haven't met him yet!
If Diego isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
