Story
Meet Diesel! 🤍
Diesel is a stunning one-year-old Great Dane weighing in at 105 pounds of pure love, goofiness, and puppy energy. While he may look like a full-grown dog, he’s really just a giant puppy who’s still learning how big he is.
Diesel is incredibly affectionate, loyal, and happiest when he’s with his person. He’ll gladly shower you with kisses, follow you from room to room, and do just about anything to convince you it’s time to play. If you’re looking for a dog who will be your best friend through every adventure, Diesel is ready for the job.
Because of his size and enthusiasm, Diesel needs an active home with someone who is committed to continuing his training and ideally has experience with giant breeds or understands what it takes to raise one. He’s very mouthy when he plays—not aggressive, just expressive—and it’s simply part of how he communicates. He has never shown us any intentional aggression, but his size and puppy exuberance mean he isn’t the right fit for every home.
Diesel gets along wonderfully with both big and small dogs. The only challenge is that he tries to play with little dogs the same way he plays with dogs his own size. He truly has no idea he’s over 100 pounds, so he’ll do best with someone who can help him continue learning appropriate manners.
We also want to share a part of Diesel’s story. Before coming to The Asher House, Diesel was adopted from a shelter for just one night before being returned after an accident. While someone was eating barbecue ribs, Diesel excitedly jumped up to grab the food and accidentally caught the person’s face. There was no blood, no stitches, and no lasting injury. Sadly, because of the incident, the shelter was considering euthanasia before reaching out to us.
Since arriving here, Diesel has been nothing but a gentle, loving boy. He has been wonderful with our staff, adores people, and quickly bonds with his favorite person. We truly believe the incident was just that—an accident caused by an oversized puppy who got too excited around food.
Diesel would do best in a home with children 12 years and older, no cats, and a family that can match his energy while continuing to help him grow into the incredible dog we know he is.
If you’re ready for a giant shadow, an endless supply of love, and a best friend who will make you laugh every day, apply to meet Diesel today. He is truly one special dog.
Diesel's adoption fee is $295 and he's neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.
