My story

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

Meet Diesel
Age: 10 years

Breed: Brown and White Bully

Weight: 76 lbs

Diesel is a lovable gentle giant with a heart of gold. Despite his size, he is a sweet and sociable senior who enjoys lounging around and observing his surroundings. Diesel walks well on a leash and has bursts of energy, but he mainly loves relaxing and watching the world go by.

From His Foster Trip:

Diesel is incredibly sweet and loyal. He rides well in cars and enjoys relaxing in his doggie bed, watching the scenery out the window, and cuddling with his stuffed animal. He follows commands well, takes treats and food gently, and is very smart about letting his foster family know when he needs to go outside.

Playgroup Behavior:

Gentle Dainty Social: Diesel is gentle and social with other dogs.

Greetings: He gives friendly greetings and is approachable.

Slightly Playful: Diesel has some playful moments but is generally laid-back.

Steering and Cruise Around: He is steerable and enjoys cruising around during playgroup.

Looking For:
Diesel is looking for a home where he can enjoy his senior years in comfort and love. His gentle nature and loyalty make him a wonderful companion for someone who appreciates a big, affectionate dog.

More about this shelter

Marion County Animal Services is the largest animal shelter in our county. Operating as a no-kill shelter, our kennels are almost always full. We provide adoption, fostering opportunities, work with rescues, accept volunteers and provide the training for veterinary assisting students. In addition, we run the Neuter Commuter and provide all animal control services in Marion County.
Due to the sheer volume of animals in our care, we need lots of help from our community in our effort to adopt out more and save more!
We don't only accept the ideal animals into our shelter. We can offer you quite the array of animal breeds and personalites! Keep an open mind when visiting our shelter- you may find that your perfect match is not at all what you set out to find.
We're here to help you as well as our homeless and lovable animals.
