My story

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

Diesel is a large-size 4-year-old black Lab mix who weighs 61 pounds. Diesel can be very nervous and unsure in new situations; he tends to shut down when he's uncomfortable and it took our staff a lot of time and patience to gain his trust. Diesel tends to prefer women over men but has had good interactions recently with male staff members. Diesel would thrive in a home with a patient, understanding adopter who can help him overcome his insecurities. He has made solid bonds with his human friends at PCAS and hopes that his future family will be willing to take things at his pace. Diesel will require a home without other pets in order to set him up for success. He has previously lived with children and was said to do well, though! He was tested for heartworms and Lyme and was negative for both. Diesel will be neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated before leaving for his forever home.
