Diego

Diego lived in Turkey as a family pet for the first 8 years of his life, then his “family” got a new puppy and threw him out on the street to fend for himself. But Diego didn’t want to go and kept coming back, So the family decided to take him to one of Turkey’s public forests, known as Dream Forest, which has become a dumping ground for abandoned pets and street dogs in recent years. But again, Diego made his way back home to the only family he had ever known and again they let him down. They took him to the shelter and said that he belonged there. They also thought it best if he was put to sleep since he was unable to live on the streets and kept returning to their house. At the time, he developed a bad case of the mange, with hair loss and open sores. Amazing Turkey Rescue volunteers removed him from the shelter and nursed him back to health. They tried to adopt him locally for a few years, but there was no takers. A wonderful Woman met Diego and promised him that she will be finding him a home in America. Finally in January 2020, Diego landed in Virginia. However things did not work out with the new family, that is how he became a SEVA GRREAT dog. He’s 11.5 years old now.
