Diesel Donut the Happiest Wiggle Butt Around

Diesel Donut here, reporting for duty as your loyal shadow, fetch partner, slightly over-sized lap-dog, and the reason for everyday laughs.

Now Diesel's name might give you visions of some high-octane, need-for-speed boy but please know that he is far from it. This Diesel has mini-zoomies, is toy-tossing, and is a people-loving pittie mix who's always ready to spread his contagious happiness. We believe Diesel is about 2 years old and he weighs 48 pounds, really a perfect medium, to-go size boy. Take a look then come back to read more: https://youtu.be/ShvKdlQzhCE?si=f4i4NKVEpSlJNYod

One of the many things that we love about Diesel is the way he plays with toys! I don't think there is a toy he doesn't like. Whether it's a stuffy or a bouncy ball, he is going to light up, bounce around, ask if you want to play fetch and then go throw the toy for himself. Right after that he will run to the toy basket, pick out another toy and start the cycle all over again. He is quiet and mindful of the space but it is still hard not to stop what you are doing just to watch him be so cute and happy. Simply, he is the perfect mix of playful energy and sweet affection.

Ideal Home

Diesel is young and active, and we believe he would be happiest in a home with a yard where he can zoom, toss toys in the air, and play fetch until his heart's content. With an active life including regular adventures and play sessions, he could be an apartment boy but a home with a yard would be best. Diesel would love to play chase with cats, so no feline friends in the home for him.

Ongoing Health

Diesel is up to date on all vetting, including DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, and flea prevention. He has also received a 12-month heartworm preventative injectable, and has been tested for heartworm.

Training & Support

On leash, Diesel has great basic leash skills and shines when walking in an area without distraction, keeping an easy, steady pace is steady and showing great manners meeting new people. When passing other dogs, he can get excited and occasionally bark. He is receptive to gentle corrections and boundaries, and we are confident he will learn quickly once expectations are established. Diesel is dog-friendly and has a bouncy play style. He will thrive with a confident, playful female dog who can match his energy and handle his bouncy style. A more submissive dog could feel overwhelmed by his friendly and playful approach, but he could easily be your one-and-only as well. Diesel is crate and house-trained, and settles down nicely overnight, with only occasional moments of whining before relaxing for the evening. He's full of enthusiasm, loves dinnertime, and will keep you smiling with his goofy, floppy ears and toy-flinging antics. Diesel will need an adopter that is active and can give him on-going training, structure, playtime, and all the love he craves.
