Story
My name is Diesel and I a 7 year old Beagle. My family is looking for me a good home with lots of love because they are expanding their family and can’t devote the same time and attention to me that they’d like. I love getting belly rubs, playing tug of war with my toys, and helping destroy boxes for the recycle bin. Kids, adults, and other dogs are always attracted to me because of my calm attitude. I enjoy the outdoors, especially sunbathing. I’m a moderately active dog so I enjoy leisure walks through the neighborhood daily to maintain my weight and get some fresh air. When I’m not socializing with my humans or neighborhood dog friends, you can catch me most of the day curled up in my comfy bed catching some zzzz and chewing on a bone. I have some allergy and skin issues that have to be monitored closely and treated regularly with medication and special food. Other than that, I’m the ideal dog to join your family as your companion or as a family dog.

Story
Kibble was a gift to my sister’s husband around Covid period. They lived with him for about 4 years now since he was a pup but she’s developed a severe allergy to dog hair. So bad that it sent her to the ER on a couple of occasions. He’s a sweet do but I don’t have the bandwidth to care for him the way he deserves. He loves open space and running around. So any home that can provide that for him is a win. Thank you for your time.
