Diesel is a 5-6 year old neutered male German Shepherd in Bend, OR. He's packed with energy and loves attention, and his food motivation makes him easy to train. This big guy came off a bit shy at first, but once he relaxes, Diesel can't get enough affection—belly rubs, armpit scratches, and snuggling in bed are his jam. His leash manners are steadily improving, and he's picking up basic commands with enthusiasm. Give Diesel a job to do and he's in his element. Outdoor adventures are a must for him—walks, park runs or any activity that channels his drive. Diesel does show some reactivity to other dogs during walks, so ongoing training and focus are important. With his background and new-found reactivity, he’s best as the only dog in the home. Diesel’s heart is huge, and he’ll thrive in a household that offers daily activity and committed structure. He does not get along with cats but is friendly with other dogs, given the right introductions. His adoption fee covers his medical needs, and there’s a foster-to-adopt period. Ready to fall in love?
