My story

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

A little bit about Diesel:
- reported to do well with kids, all interactions should be supervised
- no known history with cats, history of prey drive on walks, introductions should be done slowly and supervised
- has lived with a small dog before, potential for other dog in home pending successful introductions

Meet Diesel, our sweet senior “velcro dog” who wants nothing more than to be by your side. This old gentleman is cuddly, cautious, and endlessly curious, happily shadowing his favourite people throughout the day. When he knows it’s time for a walk, he’ll break into his adorable little happy dance - though be prepared, he can be quite strong on leash!

Diesel is on anti-anxiety medication to help with reactivity and stress, and he also takes lifelong medication for hypothyroidism. He also has some age- and old injury-related arthritis, so regular vet care will be important to keep him comfortable and thriving. Despite his worries, he’s deeply affectionate and protective of his family, wanting attention and snuggles as often as he can get them.

He previously lived with a small dog and may do well with the right match. He has no known history of living with cats before, so all introductions should be done slowly over time. His previous owner reported that he did well when meeting children, but we would still recommend all interactions to be closely supervised by an adult.

Diesel will shine in a calm home with someone who is around often and can give him the activity, reassurance, and love he’s been craving. If you’re looking for a loyal companion and constant cuddle buddy, Diesel is ready to be your devoted best friend!

More about this shelter

CONNECTING LIVES SINCE 1922

From our earliest beginning, Calgary Humane Society was more than a shelter. As Calgary’s first-established animal welfare organization, connecting the lives of animals and people while providing essential animal services to the community remains our central priority.

Today, Calgary Humane Society (CHS) shelters almost 5,000 homeless animals each year. In 1922 we set out to help as many animals as we can and we will continue to do so by fostering the values of respect, compassion, commitment, teamwork, integrity and innovation.

Our mission is to help as many animals as we can.

Our vision is using innovative strategies to lead, inspire, and educate in the humane treatment of companion animals, fostering an enlightened community that consistently demonstrates respect and compassion for all animals.

Our dream is a community where animals are valued, humanely treated, and live enriched lives.

Calgary Humane Society is committed to creating a better tomorrow through education and collaboration.
