My story

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

Introducing Diesel, the charming canine companion with a heart of gold. Diesel is a delightful dog who finds immense joy in the company of his furry friends, delighting in playful interactions and bonding through shared adventures. With a repertoire of well-learned cues like sit, paw, and down, Diesel showcases his intelligence and eagerness to please.

While Diesel exudes warmth and affection, he may initially exhibit some timidity and apprehension when meeting new people. Patience and a gentle approach are key to winning over this sweet-natured pup. In the presence of children, Diesel thrives best in a home with older kids who can understand his need for space and respect his boundaries.

As a dog bursting with energy and enthusiasm, Diesel occasionally channels his exuberance into lively antics, displaying moments of high energy and playful mouthing. With proper guidance and training, Diesel's exuberance can be channeled into positive outlets, allowing his loving personality to shine through in every interaction.

In the right environment filled with love, patience, and understanding, Diesel flourishes as a cherished member of the family, spreading joy and companionship to all who welcome him into their hearts.

More about this shelter

The Maryland SPCA connects wonderful pets to loving owners. We are not affiliated with any national animal organization, and we do not receive any government or United Way funding. Our mission is to prevent cruelty and neglect of animals through fostering the humane relationship between animals and people. We operate primarily in the Greater Baltimore Metropolitan area.

To make sure that our dogs and cats do not contribute to the pet overpopulation problem, every one is spayed or neutered before going into a new home. The cost is included in the adoption fee, as are the costs of shots and other necessary care. In addition, a free Positive Pooch class is available to our dog adopters.

There is no set time limit for how long an animal can remain in our adoption program. As long as an animal maintains general good health and a sound temperament, we keep him or her until adopted. We pride ourselves on providing premium care to the animals in a clean, pleasant environment. Our adoption staff works diligently to pair up adopters with the best animal match for their homes and lifestyles.

We transport animals from other shelters to our adoption center to help more animals get adopted. We also help pet owners find new homes for their pets so their animals don’t need to enter shelter care.
