Diemo is a funny, affectionate, 3yo neutered male currently located in Indiana.  

He insisted on telling you all about himself...

Hi everyone, my name is Diemo! I'm told that I am a goofy boy that loves to play. My favorite toys are my chuck it balls and my wubbas!

I get along great with other dogs and would love a companion that plays a little more gently than a 'crazy' Malinois.

I'm cautious with new people but will relax when given a little time and properly introduced.  I have to admit though, sometimes men scare me but I absolutely LOVE the ladies!  And because I am so handsome, I draw lots of attention (did I tell you I am modest too?)

I love my human family with all my heart, but I naturally gravitate toward the woman of the house for my cuddles.  When it's bed time, I'm happy to sleep on my bed in the human's room.  I love to go everywhere with my family and am a really awesome passenger in the car!  

One thing that the humans say is super adorable is that my little tongue pokes out a lot (especially when I sleep) cause I am missing one of my bottom canines. 

I like to play a little crazily so I will not be the best choice for a family with children.  

I'm house-trained and will sit by the door to let you know I have to go potty. 

I'll need my forever family to help me stick with my schedule or a new schedule. Routine is very important for me.

I am a very special boy – I was born with an extra vertebrae and fused vertebrae – my humans say that I move a little funny sometimes but I don’t pay any mind and it doesn’t slow me down one bit. 

Praying to find my forever family - hope you will pick me to be your loyal companion!    

~ Love, Diemo

Although Diemo was born with a birth defect, he is still 100% Malinois. Diemo LOVES to play ball and even when not playing loves to carry his toys around.  He will invite his humans to play by shaking the toy and giving growly sounds.  He is brilliant and a quick study.  Being food and toy motivated, you can imagine how quickly he can learn behaviors.  As with most Malinois, brains are a two-edged sword and he can easily figure things out that that you would prefer he not! Which is why he will do best in a home where his family can provide structure and consistency and where he will get mental stimulation and continued socialization.  

About Diemo's birth defect: The vets that examined Diemo found that he was born with an extra vertebrae in the lumbar region.  The extra vertebrae is believed to be the cause of a degenerative condition and spondylosis.  But no one told Diemo he had any physical limitations and in spite of this birth defect, he enjoys life to the absolute fullest.  Too much activity can result in him moving a little slower but it is easily managed with pain meds.
