Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Diesel 🔥🐾
4 years old · Cocker Spaniel/Basset Hound mix · 55 lbs · Neutered Male
Powered by zoomies, treats, and pure joy
Diesel arrived at the shelter on December 23 after a house fire displaced his previous owner. He came in with his canine companion Dolly through no fault of his own and now finds himself looking for a second home.
Diesel is a four year old spaniel and hound mix weighing about fifty five pounds. True to his name, Diesel has an engine that starts slow and runs strong. He can be a bit cautious at first and does best with calm, patient introductions where he is allowed to approach on his own terms. Once he warms up, his personality comes to life in the best way.
Diesel is goofy, affectionate, and full of enthusiasm. In the yard, he loves to run with a ball or stick in his mouth and will happily invite you to chase him if you can keep up. He has impressive speed and zoomies that are guaranteed to make you laugh. When playtime winds down, Diesel is just as content staying close to his people, enjoying treats and leaning in for his absolute favorite thing, butt scratches.
On leash, Diesel is still learning the ropes but with consistency, positive reinforcement, and patience, he continues to make progress and is eager to learn.
Diesel has previously lived with another dog and has shown positive social behavior around other dogs. A meet and greet is required if there is another dog in the home. Diesel is not good with cats and would do best in a cat free home.
Diesel’s Case File Highlights
✔️ 4 years old, Cocker Spaniel/Basset Hound mix, 55 lbs, Neutered Male
✔️ Neutered and healthy
✔️ Sweet, goofy, and affectionate
✔️ Moderate to high energy with a fun zoomie side
✔️ Enjoys toys, treats, and interactive play
✔️ Working on leash skills
✔️ Previously lived with another dog and has shown positive signs towards other dogs
✨ Not compatible with cats
Diesel is still adjusting to shelter life, but his heart is wide open and ready for a home that understands excitement, patience, and laughter go hand in hand. If you are looking for a dog who will keep you smiling, moving, and feeling loved, Diesel might just be the fuel your life is missing.

More about this shelter
In 1987, an initial attempt was made to organize a local humane society in Caroline County. While this attempt did not succeed, those same dedicated volunteers were not deterred.
From our humble beginnings 30 years ago, to where we are today, we are proud to be called “the little shelter that could”.
We provide service to our community through pet adoption, Rabies Clinics, Trap-Neuter-Return, Pet Pantry, Pet Lost & Found, Re-homing, Intake Diversion, Cremation
