Help Good Pups Find Good Homes! About The Rescue Inn

The Rescue Inn, Inc. (“TRI”) is an Ohio non-profit, foster-based rescue organization dedicated to saving the lives of dogs in need. We are a (501(c)(3) organization run by a dedicated group of volunteers who are passionate about our four-legged friends. Our mission is to save dogs from high kill shelters and abuse/neglect situations and place those animals into loving and permanent homes. We promote responsible animal ownership and provide medical treatment, foster care and training to unwanted, abandoned, lost or surrendered animals. It takes a village to save a dog and to support that dog on its journey to finding a permanent, loving home.

Rescue Inn’s Featured Fur Friend! Meet Diesel!

Here, we spotlight animals from The Rescue Inn who are in need of loving homes or require fundraising for essential medical care.

This month we are featuring: Diesel!

Diesel is German Shepherd born 5/24/23, so he is just over 2 years old. He is a bigger boy weighing about 90 pounds.

TRI works with saving many breeding dogs. To our knowledge, Diesel was not used as a breeding dog but was a family dog of a breeder’s extended family. Diesel was already neutered upon arrival. He was an outside dog and came to us with a female bernadoodle who has already found her forever home.

Here are some facts about Diesel:

  • Friendly and sweet
  • Housetrained
  • Crate trained and does well in boarding facility
  • True to breed, will need regular grooming / brushing
  • Has been in training over the past 6 weeks with our training team at Dog Gone Crazy. He knows basic commands, practices agility basics such as the ladder, and walks well on leash.
  • Diesel bonds with both men and women. He seems to be a ladies man and really like gals. He would do best with adult owners who are familiar with German Shepherds.
  • Diesel is good with all humans, but we think an adult only home would be best for our guy.

If you would like more information on Diesel, email therescueinn@gmail.com or complete an adoption application at the link below!
