About Diego
Diego is a 10-month-old male Blue Heeler crossed with a large breed, likely a Mastiff. His journey so far has lacked leadership and guidance, leading to insecurities and fears. Diego is in need of a confident handler who can provide him with clear direction and be a strong leader. With the right guidance, he responds well and becomes more relaxed.
During his time at the shelter, Diego has shown significant improvement. He's on the path to walking well on a lead and is demonstrating potential. Diego gets along fairly well with other dogs, although he prefers dogs that respect his space.
Diego has medium energy levels and requires daily exercise, such as a good walk, to keep him happy and healthy. He can be timid initially and may take some time to warm up to new people. Diego needs a home with secure fencing due to his size and energy.
Given his size, Diego requires an owner who can handle him comfortably. With the right guidance and care, Diego has the potential to flourish and become a wonderful companion in a loving home.
Adoption details
We are not open to walk ins, appointments by booking only. All households members must be present before we can adopt an animal out.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
