About Diablo

Meet Diablo! Diablo has spent over a year waiting for someone to see past his name and into his heart. Abandoned by a South Carolina couple who labeled him a stray, his history remains a mystery. At first, he came across as difficult and a bit daunting, leaving everyone uncertain about him. Yet, Diablo has made incredible strides. Now around 3 years old, this Malamute mix has evolved into a loving, playful companion who knows some commands. Though he enjoys the company of dogs, he undoubtedly prefers people. His vocal antics, especially a high-pitched Chewbacca impersonation, never fail to draw smiles and laughter. While Diablo is currently heartworm positive and undergoing the slow kill treatment, he is house-trained and has recently graduated from using a slow-feed bowl—an achievement that took time and trust. With his big personality, he’s always on the lookout for food, so a home without small children would be ideal for safety during mealtime. After a year of being misunderstood and learning to trust again, Diablo is ready for the one thing he’s always desired: a family to call his own.
