About Diesel

Diesel is a sweet 10-year-old with plenty of energy and affection left to share. He loves staying active and running around but also enjoys settling down with his people for some well-deserved snuggles. His friendly nature makes him a great fit for many households, and he seems happiest where there's both room to play and lots of company. Because Diesel is a bit of an escape artist, a fenced-in yard is ideal to keep his spirited side safe. He’s crate trained and house trained, so he brings good manners and a little predictability. Diesel needs a cat-free home, and any introductions to other dogs should be done carefully to ensure a good match. Eager for a family to call his own, Diesel is ready to share loyalty, love, and a playful spirit with whoever is lucky enough to bring him home. Give them the home they have been waiting for.
