Hi, I'm
Diego
Chihuahua
My story
Meet Diego, an adorable and easygoing eight-year-old long-haired Chihuahua mix currently being fostered in Waterloo! Sadly, his previous owners had to give him up when they could no longer provide the care he needed. Initially a bit shy and reserved, Diego has truly found his groove in his foster home, where he now eagerly welcomes gentle pets and warm cuddles. He particularly loves having his beautiful chestnut-colored coat brushed. Diego recently underwent a health check that showed mildly elevated liver enzymes, but the good news is that he's on a daily liver-support supplement that’s made a positive difference, as seen in his follow-up bloodwork. He’ll continue this supplement until his reassessment in December. Not to worry—Diego is microchipped, neutered, up to date on all his vaccinations, had major dental care, and is making great strides with his weight-loss plan. This little guy knows how to sit on cue and is a calm, non-destructive companion at home. He’s completely housetrained, doing his business during walks or in the fenced backyard. With 1 tooth left, his tongue has a charming way of sticking out, adding to his endearing character. His meals consist of a delightful mix of soft food and moistened kibble, with the occasional treat to savor. At bedtime, you can find him snoozing peacefully on a cozy dog bed or with a person. While he can't jump onto furniture, he can manage 3-4 steps like a pro. Diego also gets along wonderfully with the other small dogs in his foster home and shows no reactivity toward cats. He would thrive in an apartment or house with adults and respectful children who can offer him the patience and love he deserves. This little companion is ready to find his forever family—a family that will provide him with the time he needs to feel truly at home. If you're looking to welcome a sweet, loving friend into your life, Diego might just be the perfect match for you!
