Mastiff : : Male (neutered) : : X-Large
Meet Diezel! He was surrendered by his owner when they were just too busy for him. They adopted him about 1.5 years ago from his original owner who couldn't keep him. They got Diezel's vet care taken care of, but realized as time went by, they just didn't have enough time to give Diezel attention, and he was a little too much dog for their small children.
Diezel is about 5 to 6 years old and approximately 150 lbs. Because he's too much dog for little ones, a home with kids over 5 would be best. Diezel's owners reported he was an attention hog, and that was no exaggeration. When we wants to be pet he'll push any dogs out of the way to get to his person. His foster mom is working on basic commands and teaching him some boundaries. He's very talkative and will vocalize a lot, at first we thought he was growling but we think he's just talking. We'll continue working on his basic training, as it's clear none of his previous owners did much obedience worth with him! Diezel has an old injury in a back leg that causes him to limp sometimes. We've had it xrayed and the vet doesn't see any cause for the limp, he said his hip and knee both look normal. We've started him on joint supplements and some anti-inflammatory medications and he seems a lot better. He won't be on the medication long term right now, but may need to be in the future. Like many Mastiffs, Diezel is very loving and a velcro dog. He'll follow you all over the house and doesn't like to be outside alone. He has beautiful eyes that will melt your heart! Diezel is being fostered in Wichita Falls, TX. More about DiezelGood with Dogs, Good with Kids
