Meet Diesel. He’s an 8 year old Great Pyrenees loving dog. He loves to snuggle and just lounge around. He has a loud bark but is as sweet as honey. He is crate trained. He does get anxious when left alone, but he’s never destroyed anything. He just barks on and off until you return. He’s a big love bug. Unfortunately due to our long work days he doesn’t get the attention he deserves anymore. We moved to an apartment which unfortunately isn’t a good fit for him. We have had him since he was a puppy. He has no medical issues that we know of.
