Diego

A donation was made in memory of Diego by Lisa Newnham DVM on Sep 21, 2023.

I found Diego on Pet Finder while I was searching in vain for my 10 year old Jack Russell terrier who had been stolen from our yard. My heart was still broken as it had only been two months, but something about Diego's sweet face convinced me I should contact the rescue firm that had him. I still (erroneously) believed my Jack Russell would be returned to me and Diego could be his brother. My heart was broken again when I learned that there was a young family who was already in line to adopt Diego. But, in a surprise phone call from the rescue firm a few days later we learned that the family would not work out because the child was too rough with such a small dog. They didn't have to ask twice. We jumped in the car and drove a considerable distance to meet Diego. It was love at first sight and he came home with us that day. Diego was an amazing friend who helped mend our broken hearts and who we fell head over heels in love with. He was such a good boy. Such a dear friend. We were inseparable. He traveled everywhere with us, even to Mexico a couple times. We were together almost exactly 15 years before his health failed. It has been 7 months since he passed away and until now I could not write this. I will always miss him, but I have been looking on Pet Finder lately.......I will never be complete without a dog.


Would you like to give in Diego's name?
