“Diesel is a very energetic 4-year-old dog,” according to Ms. Katie Nagy, Humane Educator at the Montgomery County SPCA.

According to Ms. Nagy, Diesel is described in his SPCA file as a dog that “is looking for a home where he can be the center of attention, getting lots of exercise and love.”

“Because he doesn’t realize how strong he is, we recommend dog training classes to help Diesel learn how to walk on a leash without pulling.  He came to the shelter after his owner moved and could not take him along.  He came in with his sister who has found her new home.  Now he is hoping the same will happen for him,” his SPCA file continued.

“Please contact the Montgomery County SPCA Abington location for more details and to request an application to adopt Diesel,” stated Ms. Nagy.

 

 

According to a statement from the Montgomery County SPCA, in order to adopt an animal you must:

• Have valid photo identification.

• Be at least 18 years of age.

• Be the owner/renter of a property or have the owner’s/renter’s permission (this includes adults living with their parents).

• Provide proof that pets are permitted under a rental/lease agreement (if applicable).
