About Diesel

Diesel is a joyful and affectionate young Mastiff who found his way to us after struggling to find a forever home. His playful nature shines through, especially when he gets those zoomies. In smaller spaces, he can sometimes be a bit of a wrecking ball, so a fenced yard is essential for his exercise and potty breaks, as he won’t go on a leash. While Diesel is loving and enjoys cuddling, he does have a knack for escaping crates, so a heavy-duty option like an Impact Crate is a must. Currently, he’s working with a trainer who is eager to discuss his personality and needs with potential adopters. Diesel would thrive in a home where he can run and play freely, and he gets along well with other dogs. Are you ready to welcome this lovable boy into your life?
