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.

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.

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 is dog-friendly and is fostered in a home with a couple other dogs. He has a bouncy play style and can easily match a "rough and rowdy" player. 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, so we are looking for the right canine sibling fit, but he could easily be your one-and-only as well. Cats, however, Diesel would love to play chase with them, so no feline friends in the home for him.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions were mentioned in the listing.

Training & Support

On leash, Diesel has great basic leash skills and shines when walking in an area without distraction, keeping an easy, steady pace, and showing great manners meeting new people. Diesel's foster shared that when passing other dogs, he can get excited and occasionally bark. He was receptive to gentle corrections and boundaries, so we feel confident he will learn quickly once it is established what is expected. Diesel is still young, so he will need an adopter that is active and can give him ongoing training, structure, playtime, and all the love he craves.
