Personality: Gentle, eager-to-please, snuggler, adaptable, independent, and patient.

Diego, a young Chihuahua mix with soulful brown eyes, is the epitome of a loving, loyal, and calm companion. He has an eagerness to please that will melt your heart. Diego's adaptability and easy-going nature make him the perfect addition to any home, whether you're a first-time dog owner or a seasoned pet parent.

Initially a bit timid, time and space helped him blossom into a social butterfly. Now, you'll find him chasing and playing with dogs of all sizes, his tail wagging with pure joy. This transformation showcases Diego's remarkable ability to adapt and thrive in new situations - a quality that will serve him well as he transitions into his forever home.

At home, Diego is the ideal work-from-home buddy. He's content to lounge by your feet while you type away, occasionally bringing you a toy for a quick play break. His crate training and near-perfect potty habits make him a low-maintenance companion, while his mastery of basic requests like "sit" and "come" demonstrates his intelligence and eagerness to learn. Whether it's a leisurely walk around the neighborhood or a cozy evening on the couch, Diego is always up for quality time with his human.

Diego is more than just a dog - he's a loyal friend, a gentle soul, and a bundle of love waiting to be cherished. His calm demeanor and adaptability make him suitable for various home environments. All Diego needs is a little time, space, and a whole lot of love to help him feel secure in his new surroundings. If you're ready to welcome a devoted companion into your life, Diego is eager to fill that role with his whole heart. Apply today to meet Diego!

City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is a foster-based rescue in Washington, DC. We do not have a shelter. CDCK has a thorough adoption process to find the best possible fit for each of our dogs and cats (we do not operate under a first-come, first-served model).

Upon accepting a new cat or dog into the organization, we provide a basic vet visit that includes necessary vaccinations, disease screenings, deworming, microchips, and spay/neuter for dogs six months and older. We do not provide a comprehensive medical exam before adoption. As a result, sickness, injury, and disability may exist unbeknownst to CDCK. City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is not responsible for payment of any vet care, including known and unknown medical conditions once a cat or dog is adopted from us.
Dog specific: Rabies, DHPP, Lepto and Bordetella vaccines. They are tested for HW, Lyme, Ehrlichia, Anaplasmosis.

Most cats and dogs will have a house-training accident in the initial days in their new home and we cannot guarantee any pet is housebroken or crate trained.
