acility out-of-state where he was just about to be euthanized. He was initially found as a stray that was unclaimed, so most of his history is unknown. Diesel got aggressive with a Shih Tuz who wandered onto his finders property, so was then was sent to animal control. Diesel sadly lost a bunch of weight during his 3 weeks at animal control due to stress. He is up to 125lbs now, but still needs to put on more weight. Diesel enjoys spending the day out in a large fenced in yard (6ft) with 3 of his doggie friends. It takes a lot of convincing to get him to come back in! Ideally, it would be great for him to have a home on a farm or where there is acreage. While in his fenced yard, Diesel will bark and get anxious when people, cars, other dogs, lawn mowers etc. are go by. He will also bark if he sees something out the window while in the house. If corrected or distracted he will stop. Again, a more quiet setting/home vs busy streets with action would be best for Diesel. Diesel will do great with other medium to large sized dogs once he gets to know them. His current friends are a 75lb hound and two 35lb Aussie mixes. Once he gets used to seeing the other dog, smelling them etc through the fence for several days and then allowed while on leash to get close, he does well. If he first sees a new dog he will act aggressive towards them, no matter their size, if male/female, or if they are totally ignoring him. When on a walks, Diesel becomes anxious and will tug and pull and attempt to get to the other dog. He has been introduced to cats. Slow introductions and supervision would be advised with any cat to ensure they get along. Diesel has done well around older children. However, if/when he becomes anxious, (i.e. sees another dog), he could knock small children over without intention. Unfortunately, Diesel does not like to be crated. He will escape a common wire crate. If he is bored and left unsupervised in house, he will find things around to chew on or counter surf - like many young dogs do! Ideally his new pawparents would be home most of the day or even if he could have space in the garage where he wouldn’t get into things to chew up! All this being said, Diesel is the sweetest thing towards his people! He loves to roll over for tummy scratches, and really is just a big goof that needs someone that understands his big breed and patience to work on correcting his behaviors. Can you be the one to give Diesel the chance he deserve?

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
