A PCF volunteer received a call from a family who had grown tired of their 1 year old black lab mix, Diesel. They had gotten him as a cute puppy, but never had him neutered or vaccinated. He spent most of his life in a crate. And then they got another puppy and decided Diesel had to go! PCF kept him at a local kennel while he was neutered and vetted and a couple wanted to adopt him, but had to wait till they moved to a new home in one month. They came every day and sometimes twice a day to walk Diesel. Unfortunately he only went home with them for a few days before they realized he was too much for first time dog owners.
A foster home was quickly found and Diesel went to stay in Lock Haven where it was discovered he loved raw carrots and yams! He also like to climb through the dog fence to tour the town leading to 7 trips to the Clinton County SPCA! His foster mom lived in a huge mansion by the dike and when she would go to another part of the house, Diesel apparently went looking for her. A service dog group contacted PCF about available dogs and Diesel was just what they were looking for! He went off to Harrisburg for 6 months obedience training and is now back in the area for the service training part. With his desire to please and fantastic personality, he has found the perfect home! The service group told PCF that Diesel’s adoption was one of the easiest they had ever done and they enjoyed working with us! And we enjoyed saving another dog’s life!
