Story
Duggie will do best as an only dog. He is very high energy and seems to do best with a male owner. He would enjoy going for lots of walks, hike and days of playing fetch. He does need some work to sharpen up his manners but he is very intelligent and playful. He doesn’t seem to care for other dogs and will bark continuously at them. He is easily redirected by giving him his space while out on leashed walks.

Story
🐾 Meet Diesel, the lovable Pitty Mix looking for his forever home! 🐾 Diesel is just over 4 years old and has been at our shelter, slowly but surely coming out of his shell. He's been a bit shy at first, but with each passing day, Diesel warms up more to our staff and volunteers. What makes Diesel extra special is his gentle nature with cats and kids of all ages. He's such a sweetheart and has the potential to be the perfect companion for a loving family. While he's lived with other dogs before, it wasn't an ideal match, so Diesel might prefer to be the only furry friend in his new home. If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion to join your family, Diesel could be the one! Let's find him the perfect home where he'll be cherished and spoiled rotten. 🐶💕
