Meet Diesel

Last Hope Animal Rescue lists Diesel as male American Staffordshire Terrier in Cedar Rapids. Diesel does need an experienced dog owner and a strong handler with a leash. He is a very strong boy, and he is not a fit with cats. He can get very amped up at other dogs or animals passing by him.

He will be best suited as an only dog with a dog savvy dog owner. Diesel will be best suited to a home with a secure and physically fenced in yard. He ultimately wants a home with older kids (12+) who will play with him, and they can help him burn off some of his energy.

Last Hope requires that all animals be kept as indoor pets only, be altered and current on vaccinations and preventatives. Their adoption process includes reference and background checks, a home visit and a vet check.

Diesel is described as a smart and loving dog who loves to be around people. He is friendly with all people. An owner with a flexible schedule will be a great fit for him.

He is listed with an age of 7, though the description also calls him a young guy, so please confirm his age with the organization. His adoption fee is $250 and includes his neuter, microchip and current vaccinations plus a free obedience course. The course is at Cedar Run Pet Boarding & Daycare, and Diesel is described as likely to be a star pupil.

Please submit an adoption application through the organization's website for consideration. You can also apply at https://LastHopeAnimalRescueia.rescuegroups.org/animals/detail?AnimalID=15526940.
