Hi! My name is Diesel. I am a happy boy who loves life. I'm housetrained and I get along great with other dogs. I go to daycare once a week where I get to swim in the doggie pool and play with friends. I love giving kisses and I love to cuddle. I have an upbeat, friendly and affectionate personality. I absolutely love to play with toys and with other dogs. Going for walks is one of my favorites. I ride well in the car. And I'm a smart boy. I know sit, stay, down, leave it, wait (stops when told to wait) and walk (slows down on a leash and walks next to you). I would make a great camping partner. I am crate trained but I don't sleep in it. I am an all-around great family dog in need of a lifelong, loving home. Please give me a chance and apply today. Adoption fee: $75. Adopt a pair: $115. Fee includes testing, deworming, vaccinations, neuter, 60 days of free pet insurance and microchip.\r\n\r\nApply online:

Adoption and Foster Care Application\r\n
NOTE ABOUT BREED LABELING: Visual breed identification of dogs is unreliable and usually inaccurate. So, for most of our adoptable dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog
as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.\r\n
Why is labeling a dog such a big deal? A label will stick with a dog for the rest of its life. A label can mean discrimination, losing its home or even death. Labels are a problem for the dogs when we, as the local experts on animals, allow adopters, politicians and community members to think that the label we assign can predict who that dog is or will be.\r\nExamples:\r\n

Adoption Process: Complete the application at
www.pawsforliferescue.org. We then arrange a location, date and time for you to meet some pets. If the meeting goes well and everyone is happy, you begin the mandatory, minimum two-week adjustment period with the pet as part of your family. You will pay the non-refundable adoption fee at the start of the two-week adjustment period. This pending period allows your new dog or cat time to adjust to their new home, new people, new routine, etc., and for you to decide if it's a match and the right pet for you. At the end of two weeks (some people extend the adjustment time as needed and that's fine too), if everyone is happy, then we finalize the adoption. Feel free to email if you have any questions.
