Diesel *FOSTER HOME NEEDED*'s Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.<br/><br/>**Foster Home Needed**<br/><br/>Diesel is a mastiff mix, around 2yrs old. He was rescued in the knick of time from an animal control facility out-of-state where he was just about to be euthanized. He was initially found as a stray that was unclaimed, so most of his history is unknown. Diesel got aggressive with a Shih Tuz who wandered onto his finders property, so was then was sent to animal control.<br/><br/>Diesel sadly lost a bunch of weight during his 3 weeks at animal control due to stress. He is up to 125lbs now, but still needs to put on more weight. Diesel enjoys spending the day out in a large fenced in yard (6ft) with 3 of his doggie friends. It takes a lot of convincing to get him to come back in! Ideally, it would be great for him to have a home on a farm or where there is acreage.<br/><br/>While in his fenced yard, Diesel will bark and get anxious when people, cars, other dogs, lawn mowers etc. are go by. He will also bark if he sees something out the window while in the house. If corrected or distracted he will stop. Again, a more quiet setting/home vs busy streets with action would be best for Diesel.<br/><br/>Diesel will do great with other medium to large sized dogs once he gets to know them. His current friends are a 75lb hound and two 35lb Aussie mixes. Once he gets used to seeing the other dog, smelling them etc through the fence for several days and then allowed while on leash to get close, he does well. If he first sees a new dog he will act aggressive towards them, no matter their size, if male/female, or if they are totally ignoring him. When on a walks, Diesel becomes anxious and will tug and pull and attempt to get to the other dog. He has been introduced to cats. Slow introductions and supervision would be advised with any cat to ensure they get along.<br/><br/>Diesel has done well around older children. However, if/when he becomes anxious, (i.e. sees another dog), he could knock small children over without intention.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, Diesel does not like to be crated. He will escape a common wire crate. If he is bored and left unsupervised in house, he will find things around to chew on or counter surf - like many young dogs do! Ideally his new pawparents would be home most of the day or even if he could have space in the garage where he wouldn’t get into things to chew up!<br/><br/>All this being said, Diesel is the sweetest thing towards his people! He loves to roll over for tummy scratches, and really is just a big goof that needs someone that understands his big breed and patience to work on correcting his behaviors. Can you be the one to give Diesel the chance he deserve?<br/><br/>If you would like to learn more about Diesel, please submit an interest form on our website:<br/><br/>https://redemptionroadrescue.rescuegroups.org/forms/<br/><br/>If you are viewing this listing on PETFINDER there is often MORE INFO ON and MORE PICS OF the animal DIRECTLY ON OUR WEBSITE.<br/><br/>redemptionroad.mn@gmail.com<br/><br/>Follow us on Facebook & Instagram!<br/><br/>https://www.facebook.com/RedemptionRoadRescue/<br/><br/>@RedemptionRoadRescueMN<br/><br/>*Adoption fee for Diesel is $425 + MN tax*<br/><br/>All animals fully vetted appropriate for age: spayed/neutered, rabies vaccine, DHPP vaccine, 4DX test (@8 months or older), microchipped with lifetime registration, dewormed, flea/tick prevention, heartworm prevention.<br/><br/>*Since we typically don't know a rescue dogs actual genetics, their breed and estimated size when grown on their bio is just an educated guess based on information and observations we have.*
