Diego

My story

Meet Diego: The Tiny Snugglebug with a Big Heart (and Big Opinions) Diego is a 2-year-old chihuahua who’s mastered the art of greeting you like a long-lost friend—even if you just went to the kitchen and came back. He’s got a tail that wags at warp speed, a sparkle in his eye, and a heart full of love for anyone lucky enough to be in his circle. This little guy is all about the snuggles. He loves curling up under the covers, lounging on your lap, and soaking in the affection like it’s his favorite spa treatment. Diego lives for cozy vibes, warm laps, and being told he's a very good boy (because he is, obviously). Diego does have one important rule: *please respect the bubble.* If he feels unsure or unsafe, he might let you know with a little sass—but hey, wouldn’t you, if you were only 10 pounds and the world was full of giants? He’s not mean; he’s just got boundaries. Once he feels safe, he’s all love, all the time. He’s not a fan of being picked up unexpectedly or wrangled into a leash or carrier (can you blame him?), but with patience and a gentle approach, he’s learning that the world isn’t so scary. He’s ready to find someone who views his tiny tough guy moments as endearing and falls in love with the sweet snugglebug underneath. If you’re the kind of person who speaks fluent “small dog with big feelings,” Diego might just be your perfect match. Come meet him—he’ll probably run right up to say hi.
