Their story

About Diesel

Diesel was one of the first strays to arrive at our home and decide he was staying. He appeared shortly after Wyatt and, unlike many of the other dogs passing through, made himself comfortable in the yard and never left. Now approximately four years old, Diesel was still a young pup when he found us. Diesel is a neutered male and was our first dog to test positive for heartworms. His treatment lasted nearly a year and required extended kennel rest, which contributed to some weight gain. Despite everything he endured, he remains energetic and would benefit from regular walks and exercise. Diesel gets along well with smaller dogs. He can be cautious around unfamiliar people and may give a warning when he feels uncomfortable, so introductions should be slow and respectful. Once he realizes someone is safe, he relaxes and becomes a gentle, affectionate boy who loves attention and is eager to please. According to DNA My Dog, Diesel is 44% Australian Cattle Dog, 17% American Staffordshire Terrier, 15% American Pit Bull Terrier, 12% Perro de Presa Canario, and 12% another breed not listed in the results provided.
