He actively participates in playgroups at the rescue center, showcasing his friendly and outgoing nature. Whether it's a game of fetch or a romp around the yard, Diego is always up for some canine companionship. But Diego's affections aren't limited to his four-legged friends; he's equally fond of humans, especially children. His gentle demeanor makes him a wonderful playmate for kids of all ages, and he's always ready to join in on their adventures. One of Diego's impressive qualities is his obedience. He already knows basic commands like "sit" and "come," making him a joy to train and interact with. His eagerness to please and quick learning ability make him an ideal companion for anyone looking for a well-mannered pup. Surprisingly, Diego also gets along well with cats, proving that his friendly nature knows no bounds. Whether it's a cuddle session on the couch or a playful chase around the house, Diego is happy to share his affection with feline friends. Diego's favorite pastime? Cuddling up with his humans and showering them with love. He's a true cuddle bug at heart and will happily curl up next to you for hours on end, providing warmth and companionship. If you're searching for a loyal and affectionate companion who's great with both two and four-legged friends, then look no further than Diego.
