About Diesel

Meet Diesel! This charming Pit Bull Terrier is the biggest baby around, always ready for a good time. When he discovered the toy box, it was pure joy—bouncing from toy to toy without a care in the world. Before coming to our rescue, Diesel lived outside on a chain, but he's now ready for a loving home where he can thrive with rightful playthings. Diesel is four years old, has a solid build at 74 pounds, and sports a short coat in a lovely apricot and white color. Recently neutered, he's prepared to step into a new chapter of his life without the responsibilities of fatherhood. He's incredibly social, friendly towards both people and dogs, though probably a bit too rambunctious for homes with very small children. This affectionate boy knows how to sit and has mastered catching hot dogs, proving that he's as smart as he is playful. Diesel is bursting with personality, and anyone would be lucky to bring him home. Looking for a lovable companion? Diesel is ready to share his playful spirit with you!
