Meet Diesel, affectionately known as Thunder Paws! 🐾 This gentle giant is on a journey to find a loving home, and let me tell you, he’s a delightful blend of affection and playful spirit. At almost 9 years young, Diesel has lived a life filled with laughter, love, and a few little adventures that have shaped him into the incredible companion he is today. 🎉 Diesel is a big-hearted boy weighing in at around 85 to 90 pounds of pure love! 🐕 While he enjoys the simple pleasure of a sunny spot on the floor, you’ll often find him wagging his tail on playdates with his favorite toys or having a grand ole time chasing after those squirrels in the backyard. 🌳 He’s got a soft spot for kids, shining brightly whenever he’s around them – but beware, he might accidentally knock them over with his exuberant joy! He’s never mean, just a big pal ready for some fun! And as charming as he is with children, let’s not forget how social he is with other dogs. Diesel has a way of winning everyone over with his playful tug-of-war games! 🎾 He’s often the gentle giant in his pack, letting the smaller dogs take the lead. But don’t be fooled; there’s a gentle curiosity in his heart when it comes to cats, too! He loves to chase but only for the fun of it, never with malice.😺 Now, Diesel does have a few quirks to consider. This distinguished senior has had his share of health challenges, having battled Lyme disease in the past. While it may have slowed him down a bit, he takes it all in stride and manages just fine now — albeit with a little extra care for his ears, which can get itchy. His wonderful humans have been vigilant about keeping him comfortable, and he eats a special diet that helps his tummy stay happy. 🍽️ Diesel is house trained and knows a variety of commands! He’ll sit, lay down, and even play dead on cue. 💪 With a loving touch and some patience, he’s learning to calm down a bit when visitors come by — no jumping here! He’s just an excitable love bug who can’t help but want to get close to everyone. As he looks forward to finding his next forever home, Diesel’s desire for companionship is as strong as ever. He’s ready to share his warm cuddles, immense love, and boundless loyalty with a family that adores him back. If a sweet, lovable companion who enjoys a good snuggle, a playful game, and the beauty of daily walks fits your lifestyle, Diesel may just be your perfect match! 🐶 Curiosity piqued? Don’t wait!
