About Diesel

Diesel is a fawn-coated, medium-sized dog with a striking dark muzzle and alert, upright ears. Weighing in at about 35 pounds, Diesel is both neutered and up to date on his vaccinations. He was born in late June 2025, which not only makes him a Cancer—a sign known for loyalty—but also means he's just a few months shy of his first birthday. Diesel is housebroken and microchipped, and he’s currently staying at HALAH after his previous owner was unable to care for him due to health concerns. This good-looking, spirited guy enjoys playtime and has a friendly, easygoing presence. He shares his time at the rescue with his brother, Dually. Diesel is always on the hunt for a treat, and he’ll thrive in a home where he can run, relax, and snack to his heart’s content. He can be met at HALAH in Godley, TX by appointment, but an adoption application needs to be submitted first. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
