About Diesel

Diesel is a five-year-old male German Shepherd Dog looking for a dedicated family to call his own. He’s made great strides in his training, especially mastering commands like sit, down, and come. Though he has a sweet demeanor, Diesel can be a bit stubborn and often tries to push boundaries; he thrives on consistency and training to stay on track. It's important to note that he prefers to be the only dog in the home or live with a very submissive female. Diesel is wonderful around kids, though he tends to ignore them rather than engage. His high prey drive makes him unsuitable for homes with cats. He walks well on a leash with a prong collar but can pull with other types. Keep an eye on Diesel; his curiosity leads him to try to eat just about anything he finds, and his aim can be a bit messy when he pees. Despite these quirks, he’s a loving and playful companion who enjoys his toys, especially his jolly ball. He’ll benefit from an experienced adopter who can help him refine his manners and continue his training. Diesel is heartworm positive but is successfully undergoing treatment. Thanks for considering Diesel!
