Who wants to go for a walk? I do! I love walks!

I’m DC (but my friends call me Diesel). I'm a very sweet and friendly Rottweiler/Lab mix, just look at my big smile. You can’t stop looking at me can you? Well, take a short break of looking at my great smile to read more about me.

Some people think I’m 5 years old, some say I’m older. Well, I’ll never tell. It doesn’t matter anyway because I’m strong and athletic, I jump into the backseat of my foster dad's SUV and jump around whenever I see my leash, because my leash means I get to go for a walk.

Did I mention I love walks? On a walk, you would never know how strong I am since I don’t really pull and walk nicely by your side.

I’m good with people including kids; and I’m good around most other dogs, but really high-energy dogs can sometimes be too much and I just tell them to leave me alone.

At home, I like to sit with my people and lounge around chewing on sheep ears and antlers, but never your stuff. I'm good in my crate during the day and happy relaxing in the evening after my walk.

Why are you still reading? Send Lindsay an email asking about me and take me on a walk.

You can save animals like this one by becoming a foster! Fosters are like way stations between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters. If you are interested in becoming a foster, please check out our information about fostering by visiting http://www.homewardtrails.org/foster-a-pet/dog-and-cat-foster-program/
