Diesel would like to hear all about your day — and then he would like his teeth brushed. Really. This senior Malamute has very nice house manners, and has been loved. Friendly and mellow, Diesel will talk to you, push up against your leg, and just be there through thick and thin. 

To adopt a pet, call or stop by the animal shelter across from the city’s Public Works Department off the Sterling Highway. The shelter is open from noon-5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. For more information, call 235-3141.
