Saturday's Dog: Meet Diego!



Would you look at this ridiculously happy, handsome face? Meet Diego - the happy wanderer. Diego is in a Vermont shelter where he turned up as a stray. As a result, we don't know much about him except that he seems to be eternally happy.

Diego loves being around people. He's also friendly with dogs as well as cats but kids aren't advised (they can be a bit too rough for him). Smart, playful but not over-exuberant, this handsome fella will make an exceptional partner for the right people. Maybe that's you or someone you know?

Hop on over to see his full profile on the North East All Retriever Rescue web page. You can check out some of the other dogs we have there who are also waiting to find that perfect forever home.


If Diego's not your guy, would you be willing to share his story with your family and friends? The more exposure he gets, the better his chances of getting out that shelter soon. Just click the Facebook or Twitter button down there after the blog hop. Thanks!

  4. Wow.  Leslie, I have a wonderful friend in Shrewsbury, Steve, who will be looking for a dog after Thanksgiving.  His previous dog, Murphy -- okay, this is weird -- do you remember the first time we took Bella and Gus to Tufts Field with Sheila and I was late?  Steve was the friend I was visiting and the reason I was late -- he had just lost Murphy (also a shelter dog).  Steve is returning full time to his home in Shrewsbury after being "on assignment" in Northhampton.  He has 5 cats and is just a fabulous guy.  Is there a time frame on Diego?  Though I can suspect he might get adopted out very quickly........

  7. Hi Twinkle! Thanks for saying hi. I'm still trying to catch up on the blog hop myself. :]

    I think Diego's a handsome fella who deserves a new and happy home for such a happy guy.

  8. Hi Deccy. He's a goofy looking guy but can't you just imagine the personality? I hope someone out there does. :)

  9. Sounds like fate, doesn't it? :]

    I don't think there's a time limit on him - I think they can tell he's a special guy who should get snapped up so they will probably give him time to attract attention.  (They're not a "no-kill" shelter but they're not rushing dogs to the gas chamber either...) Here's their link to him: http://cvhumane.com/adopt/diego/

    While I agree, I think he'll get adopted quickly, it is Thanksgiving week so probably not a lot of people out looking right now.  He's in VT, so not sure your friend would be willing to travel to meet him...

    Of course, if Diego doesn't work out for Steve, we have a few other dogs on our referrals page (http://nearr.com/referrals.html) that might be of interest or if he prefers a yellow dog, we have the gorgeous Lekoda (9 years old though) as well http://nearr.com/available_dogs.html#lekoda  :}  (My heart longs for Lekoda... but I say that about most of our dogs... ;)

  10. Lekoda has such a beautiful face!  She would also maybe work for Steve -- the big issue for him is the cats.  But he's single and works all day and is an animal activist most weekends. I told him I'd help him find a dog to adopt so we'll be checking the neaar page and maybe asking for your opinion ---
