My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
My name’s Diesel, and I’m looking for my forever home. Let me tell you a little about myself.
I’m a handsome, 7-year-old German Shepherd/ Australian Shepherd mix. At 60 pounds, I’m the perfect size—not too big, not too small! I’m fixed, up to date on all my shots, and housetrained (yep, I know where to go and where not to go!).
When my humans are out, I’m totally okay roaming the house. I love having a fenced yard to explore at my leisure, and when it’s time to sleep, I curl up in my own cozy bed.
I’m friendly with other dogs, but if there’s a cat around and it runs…. I might chase it. But don’t worry—if the cat is cool, so am I! I’ve also got a great track record with children; I’m gentle and loving around them.
Walks? Love ’em. Car rides? Count me in! Toys? I love squeaky ones. And don’t get me started on chasing a ball—it’s one of my favorite things. At the end of the day, I’m all about snuggling with my people.
I’ve been through a few homes recently, and while I’m a resilient pup, I’m really looking for some stability. My last home didn’t work out because the dog that was already there did not want to share. All I want is to be treated as part of the family—someone who gets to love and be loved.
If you think you have room in your heart and home for a loyal, loving guy like me, I’d love to meet you. Let’s make some memories together!

We are a foster-based, volunteer-driven rescue. All SDRO dogs available for adoption are listed on our website. The listing includes information to help you decide if one of our dogs is right for your household. If you are interested in adopting a dog, please complete an online application. If your home suits the dog's needs, we'll call you to discuss your application and ask any follow-up questions. Our experienced adoption coordinator will discuss the dog’s needs with you to help determine if your home is the right fit. Since we do not operate a shelter and all our dogs are in foster care, a meet-and-greet will be your first opportunity to meet the dog face-to-face.
