DESCRIPTION
Diesel (A141207) is a 3-year-old Pitbull x Lab mix who weighed 77.5 pounds on intake! 02/20/26 This snow-loving pup is Diesel! Diesel arrived at the shelter as a stray and is now looking for his new place to call home. He has been a sweet boy while at the shelter, but has shown some signs of kennel stress. We encourage his next owner to bring him to a basic obedience class with a certified trainer to continue working on his manners. Diesel has done a decent job at keeping his kennel tidy, indicating that he may be housebroken. However, keep in mind there is always an adjustment period as he settles into his new home and routine. We do not know if Diesel has experience around children or other animals. It is important to always make slow, safe, and controlled introductions with all to help set him up for success. We have found that this boy loves going on walks and really enjoys sniffing walks – he may enjoy doing a scent class! If you are interested in meeting Diesel, please let us know!
