About Diesel

Meet Diesel! This 6-year-old boxer mix is back at the shelter due to circumstances beyond his control. His previous owner felt they could no longer dedicate the time and attention he deserves. Diesel weighs over 70 lbs and is described as outgoing, friendly, gentle, and affectionate. He rides well in the car and knows several commands like sit, down, and shake. Diesel reportedly gets along well with people of all ages, including strangers. However, he doesn't have experience around young children, so keep that in mind if you have little ones. While he grew up with another dog and is kennel trained, Diesel can be selective about his canine friends. He tends to favor dogs that aren’t overly assertive. A slow introduction is recommended for any new furry companions. If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion, Diesel might just be your perfect match. Ready to meet him?
