Story
This handsome boy is Diesel!Diesel is still very new to FDHS and is taking some time to decompress, so he can be a little nervous at first. He warms up quickly with a calm voice, gentle encouragement, and especially some yummy treats. Diesel has pleasantly surprised us with his leash manners, though he can be easily startled and may pull when he’s spooked. He has done well spending time in a securely fenced area where he can feel safe and explore at his own pace.Diesel is a young German Shepherd mix who recently came to FDHS after his previous family could no longer care for him. He came from a busy, multi-dog household, and with several other intact dogs in the home, things could sometimes feel overwhelming. Because of this, Diesel would do best in a home that can provide structure, clear boundaries, and careful introductions with any canine companions so he can feel secure and confident.Overall, Diesel has been friendly with our staff and easy to handle. As with any new dog, we recommend slow introductions to all household members. While we do not know if he has lived with young children or cats, with proper introductions we believe he has the potential to do well in many types of homes.As a German Shepherd mix, Diesel is a working dog at heart who needs both mental and physical enrichment. He enjoys being active, learning, and spending time with his people. An active household, especially one with Shepherd experience, would be an excellent match for this smart, sensitive boy.

Buster came to us as an owner surrender along with six other littermates. Their previous owner could no longer care for these sweet babies.Please note that while they are incredibly loving now, they will need consistent training due to the mix they are. Early socialization—especially meeting lots of people—is very important for puppies like these.As Cane Corso and German Shepherd (GSD) mixes, they will grow into highly intelligent dogs who can excel as loyal family companions or even naturally protective guard dogs with proper training.
