My story

DIESEL - 4 years old, 67 pounds, house trained, dog social, lived with a cat Diesel ended up behind bars due to no fault of his own. He is a 4 year old playful and active boy who lived with other dogs and a kitty. Sporting a mostly tan body (probably a little thin even) with long lean legs and a black muzzle, he is nervous in the shelter. To be fair, many dogs are nervous in the beginning. It just takes a short bit of time to warm up to new people and dogs. He was almost perfect when meeting the other playgroup dogs, sniffing appropriately, backing off if another dog corrected him, and also initiating play with play bows and gentle taps on others' back with his paw. Super cute! A few times he got excited when he ran to me and jumped up placing both paws on my chest! He stood just about as tall as me, too! You better be ready for kisses! Diesel can be trusted roaming freely around with his family. He is used to being limited to a room when left alone. We are told he also might have an accident and/or cry or whine when left alone. He loves going for walks and was walked several times daily in his previous home.  Diesel will be that boy who follows you around. He wants to be close to you. He wants your attention and he wants your love. It's easy to give all of these to a sweet boy like Diesel! He is currently in a back kennel so if you come in to meet him and don't see him, please just ask.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 13, 2025, 4:02 pm
