Shy and sweet Diesel is a mellow, 4 lb., 9-year-old boy who will thrive best in a calm and predictable environment. This gentle boy hovers more on the reserved side and will need an experienced adopter who is willing to dedicate the time and patience he will need to feel comfortable being himself. Diesel's ideal home would be a quiet one with little foot traffic that has plenty of little spaces for him to crawl into and cozy up while he adjusts to his new home. We believe that with time, consistency, and plenty of love, Diesel will start to show just how excited he is that you gave him a chance. If you're looking for a new doggy buddy and feel like Diesel might be your match, then come on in and meet him today! This pet is eligible for an Adoption Audition! What is an Adoption Audition?
