My story

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

**BEING TREATED FOR LYME AND EHRLICHIA

Meet Diesel, the handsome and magnificent 7-year-old Shepherd mix looking for his forever home. This sociable and extroverted boy weighs around 70ish lbs and has a beautiful red coat.

Diesel came in as a stray he had been previously Neutered and Microchipped. All attempts to contact any previous owner was a dead end. Diesel's shelter life has caused him some anxiety, but with an active, loving, and patient family, he will surely thrive and become the best version of himself.

Diesel is an active and busy boy with endless energy. He loves to play and be on the move, making him the perfect companion for outdoor activities and adventures. At the same time, he is an affectionate and clever dog who will surely steal your heart with his curious and happy personality. His intelligence and sociable nature make him the best friend anyone could ask for.

Diesel has done well with the other dogs he has met. Even though he was Microchipped and had a previous owner he will need PATIENCE in learning the household routines like the potty schedule!!!!!

Diesel was previously Neutered and Microchipped. We have updated all vaccines including rabies. He has been given a dewormer and started on flea/tick prevention, heartworm tested (NEGATIVE) and given heartworm prevention.

More about this shelter

The Orange County Animal Shelter is responsible for providing humane care to unwanted, lost or abandoned animals
The Orange County Animal Shelter provides safe haven and vet care for hundreds of animals of all ages and descriptions each year.
Happily, we have had great success promoting our animals on Petfinder, Petsmart adoption events and now with the help of Adopt-A-Pet. Dozens of animals have been adopted by people who have come from many other states. Would you like to join them? If so, please let us know! The greater our reach the more homes we will find for the animals in our care.
Although we are about 1.5 hours away from the Washington, D.C. metro area, it is an easy drive. You can even make a day of it and stop off at country stores, Civil War battlefield sites and a huge mall complex in Spotsylvania/Fredericksburg. And after all, what is a few hours in drive time when you will be meeting your new best friend? If you need help getting here, call us for directions
