Meet Diesel, our sweet senior “velcro dog” who wants nothing more than to be by your side. This old gentleman is cuddly, cautious, and endlessly curious, happily shadowing his favourite people throughout the day. When he knows it’s time for a walk, he’ll break into his adorable little happy dance – though be prepared, he can be quite strong on leash!
Diesel is on anti-anxiety medication to help with reactivity and stress, and he also takes lifelong medication for hypothyroidism. He also has some age- and old injury-related arthritis, so regular vet care will be important to keep him comfortable and thriving. Despite his worries, he’s deeply affectionate and protective of his family, wanting attention and snuggles as often as he can get them.
He previously lived with a small dog and may do well with the right match. He has no known history of living with cats before, so all introductions should be done slowly over time. His previous owner reported that he did well when meeting children, but we would still recommend all interactions to be closely supervised by an adult.
Diesel will shine in a calm home with someone who is around often and can give him the activity, reassurance, and love he’s been craving. If you’re looking for a loyal companion and constant cuddle buddy, Diesel is ready to be your devoted best friend!
