Diesel

🐾 Meet Diesel 🐾

Diesel is a big, brave and beautiful senior boy with a gentle soul and so much love to give.

Despite not always having the easiest start in life, Diesel has never lost his kind heart. Rescued after concerned neighbours alerted authorities to his situation, he's embraced the chance to enjoy the comforts every dog deserves and is now ready to find his new home.

This sweet gentleman enjoys his twice-daily walks, where he'll happily stop to investigate every interesting scent along the way. He's now walking in a head halter, and while it's not his favourite fashion accessory, it's made a huge difference to his lead manners. He's learned to walk in a lovely straight line, making strolls together much more relaxed and enjoyable for everyone.

At home, Diesel is calm, relaxed and wonderfully easy to live with. He can be left indoors on his own without any fuss and is perfectly content snoozing on his comfy bed. If you enjoy having your dog close by at night, Diesel will happily curl up at the end of your bed and sleep peacefully until morning.

Diesel still has a playful side too. He enjoys paddling in the water just enough to wet his paws, loves spending time outdoors, and has even been known to "help" his foster dad during a round of golf. One of his newest favourite games is chasing bubbles, and watching this big, dignified boy happily bouncing after them is guaranteed to make you smile.

For such a big boy, Diesel has beautifully gentle manners. He's affectionate without being demanding, enjoys spending time with his people, and is respectful around the home. While he has previously lived happily with both dogs and a cat, he's equally content as the only pet and is currently thriving in a foster home where he has his humans all to himself.

Recently, Diesel was diagnosed with significant allergies. Thanks to the generous support of Veterinary Dermatology Specialists, he has been receiving specialist treatment and is now feeling so much better. His skin infections have resolved, the constant itching has stopped, and he's clearly much more comfortable.

Diesel has just three weeks left of his elimination diet, after which his dermatology team should have a much clearer picture of exactly what he needs going forward. Until then, he'll need to stick strictly to his prescribed food. Once the trial is complete, his ongoing management plan should be much clearer for his new family.

Diesel is the kind of dog who asks for very little—just a comfortable bed, regular walks, gentle companionship and someone to love him. After everything he's been through, he's more than ready to settle into the next chapter of his life.
If you're looking for a calm, affectionate companion with impeccable house manners and a heart of gold, Diesel would love to meet you. This gorgeous boy has waited a long time for life to be kind to him, and now it's his turn. 💙
