About Diesel

Meet Diesel! This 8-year-old, 6-pound Chihuahua is all about big personality in a tiny package. Diesel is the quintessential lap dog, claiming your lap as his throne the moment you settle down. He loves a good snuggle session and is happiest binge-watching TV with his favorite human, soaking up all the attention he can get. When he's not curled up, Diesel enjoys a game of fetch with his beloved squeaky toys, treating them like treasure. He’s housebroken, knows the command "stay," and loves some time outside before returning to the cool comfort of indoors Diesel thrives in an adult home or one with older children, as younger kids can make him a bit anxious. While he's okay with cats, he prefers to be the sole canine in the household, though he can adjust to another dog with a proper introduction. Although car rides aren’t his favorite, he feels safest in a crate, and he prefers walking in a harness for a secure feel. If you’re seeking a funny and affectionate companion who’ll stick by your side, Diesel may just be the perfect match for you. Click apply to start the adoption process.
