You think it’s sad looking into his kennel….imagine how he feels looking out day after day

Diesel came to us as a local stray in January 2022 and we believe he may have been dumped in a Wawa parking lot since he still had a leash attached, although it was chewed as if he may have been tied to something and left behind.

He was adopted out a few weeks later but returned due to it not being the best fit for him. Sometimes that happens in rescue, and sadly for Diesel he continues to wait for almost 10 months now for his next family.

He is a volunteer favorite here where some volunteers will call dibs on a shift for who gets to walk him or spend playtime with him in our yard

Diesel loves car rides and going on hikes, long walks, and even a run if you’re up for it! When the adventure is over, he’s happy to snuggle and chill out on the couch. He’s the best of both worlds!

Diesel has spent time at sleepovers with volunteers and we have learned that he is housebroken and the most loyal dog. He forms a very strong bond with people, so it will be important that he goes to a home where each member of the family is willing to be an active participant in caring for Diesel.

Diesel is one of those great dogs that continues to get passed over on adoption days. The shelter is no place for a dog like Diesel because he needs activity and snuggles!

Diesel is a pointer/pittie mix. He's about 1.5 to 2 years old and still has that young dog energy! He would love to go to a training class because he is such a smart pup and already knows some basic commands. He is looking for a home with someone who is home more often than not as he does not like to be crated or confined for long periods of time. He prefers to be the only pet in the home, so no other cats or dogs for this guy. Older dog savvy children preferred too.

He’s a very special boy here who is loved by many and we hope that someone out there will give him the chance he so much deserves

Ready to meet Diesel?

Come visit him Saturday between 10 to 2 or email dogadoptions@thesanctuarypa.org to discuss
