Diego

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

I am Diego, I am 4 years old and neutered. My shoulder height is 55 cm. Unfortunately, I had a serious accident some time ago, so my left front leg had to be amputated. Because of this, I now receive a prosthesis and an orthosis. Despite this, I am a very cheerful and wonderful dog. I am incredibly clingy, lovable, and cuddly. I react uncertainly to some unfamiliar men. I really like other dogs.

Ich bin der Diego, ich bin 4 Jahre alt und kastriert. Meine Schulterhöhe beträgt 55 cm. Leider hatte ich vor einiger Zeit einen schlimmen Unfall, deshalb musste mir das linke Vorderbein amputiert werden. Deshalb bekomme ich nun eine Prothese und eine Orthese. Ich bin trotzdem ein sehr lebensfroher, toller Hund. Ich bin unglaublich, anhänglich, liebenswert und verschmust. Auf manche fremde Männer reagiere ich unsicher. Andere Hunde mag ich sehr gerne. Update: Juhu, Diego´s Prothese (und Orthese) ist da! Vielen lieben Dank nochmal an alle, die das möglich gemacht haben! Wir freuen uns sehr darüber und hoffen, dass man ihm damit sein Leben erleichtern kann!

About Diego

What life with Diego looks like

Diego is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Zuflucht für Tiere im Allgäu in Kempten.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Diego, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Diego?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Zuflucht für Tiere im Allgäu handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Diego on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Diego if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Zuflucht für Tiere im Allgäu will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Diego already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Diego isn't the right fit?: Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Zuflucht für Tiere im Allgäu early rather than rehoming privately; they know Diego and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
