This sweet senior boy is happiest when he’s close to his person, whether he’s curled up beside you on the couch, resting in your arms, or simply keeping you company around the house. Diego is a quiet companion who rarely barks and prefers a calm, peaceful environment where he can relax and feel safe. Diego enjoys affection and cuddles and thrives on human connection. He would do best in an adult home or with older, respectful children who understand his mellow nature. He gets along with cats but may need a little time and patience to adjust to new feline friends. Like many senior pups, Diego has some stiffness in his back legs, which can make him a bit wobbly at times, and he may need help getting onto furniture or navigating steps. He’s not interested in long walks, but he’s perfectly content being carried or enjoying the world from the comfort of a stroller. He is mostly potty trained when taken out regularly, especially first thing in the morning and after meals, though he may have an occasional accident. Diego sleeps comfortably in his crate as long as it’s near his person, but he prefers the door to remain open so he doesn’t feel alone. He can handle short periods by himself but truly loves being part of your daily life. Diego does have a heart murmur, which is common for dogs his age, but there is no evidence of heart failure, and he still has plenty of love and companionship to offer his forever family. He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to spend his golden years being cherished. Diego’s adoption fee is $200, and he is waiting patiently for someone to give him the loving home he deserves. All Second Chance Dog Rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, are up to date on vaccines and have microchips prior to adoption. Adoption fees vary depending on age of dog. Fees help Second Chance Dog Rescue cover spay/neuter costs, vaccinations, medical treatments, food and supplies. Please go to .secondchancedogrescue and complete an application today! All dogs live in private foster homes until they are adopted.
