My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

DIESEL is a 3 year old neutered yellow male Lab who weighs 75 pounds. Diesel is an active pup who likes attention who likes to be with you and get attention. He loves to swim and be around water He doesn't seem to be interested in retrieving right now, her will go over and investigate something you tossed but hasn't brought it back yet. He enjoys getting petted and scratched or just being with you. He needs an active family that has a fenced yard and will give him love, training and exercise. Kids 9 and up, good with owner's nieces and nephews who are there several times a week. Good with other dogs. Lived with a kitten who he tried to play even though he got swatted. Kitten would run away then come back and jump on him, then run again. Knows sit, come and sometimes down. Will have a training addendum as can use more training. Hasn't been on lead much, good with an Easy Walk Harness. We were told that Diesel is house and crate trained, he doesn’t like being forced in a crate but will go in on his own. He was in the house at night and outside in pen during the day. Diesel is an owner give up as his owner has health issues recently loss her husband. Diesel is a good size pup and she can't handle him. He likes to run and he gets out of the pen and owner had problems getting him back. When he gets out he either goes visiting the neighbors or swimming. She asked us to get him a new home. He is approved for kids 9+. More info soon!
