My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Diego was adopted from Dogs without Borders in Los Angeles in 2015. They acquired him after someone had found him at the side of the road with two broken back legs after being hit by a car. When we adopted him, his legs had been healed. Diego is 10 or 11. We do not know his exact age as when they found him, he had no ID. For Diego to be happy in a new home, we believe he would do well in a calm environment; adults or adults with older kids, and a cozy spot to lay. Diego is calm when he is with adults that he knows. Diego is, in general, good with anyone once he get to know them. Diego does bark at knocks on the door and gets excited (jumps, etc.) when people enter out home. He has always been a nervous dog (shakes and stays close to whoever is cooking) when the oven or stove is on (we have never been able to identify why-possibly something in his past before adopting him).
