Pet of the Month


Diego

Diego is a big, neutered male malamute mix (perhaps a little German Shepard?). He is 2 years old and weighs about 100 lbs., is mainly black with two cute tan spots over his eyes, but has a solid body. Diego would benefit from losing 5-10 lbs. He is alert and vocal - will bark when a new person arrives at the property and is quite talkative with his family. He is protective of his 5 year old child companion - he has not biten, but stands between an adult and the child. He is a sweet and loving dog, but will need a strong leader to work with him on basic commands and his resource guarding issues. He is dog social (lives with 2-3 medium size dogs now and also is ok when he visits the owner's neighbors' dogs) and needs an appropriate fenced area for reliable containment. Diego would do better with a companion dog, but will need to be the more dominant of the two. Feedings should also be separate.

Diego is looking for his forever home. If you are interested in giving him that loving home please fill out our adoption application.
