Diesel - Pit Bull Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Mocksville, North Carolina

Diesel is a gentle giant. At 71 pounds he is a big, goofy boy. This mixed breed boy has a soft grey/brown (fawn) coat and his tail never stops wagging. His previous owners tell us he has lived indoors his whole life and loves the couch life. Diesel has no idea that we call him a house hippo, he thinks he is a lap dog. He seems to know the sit command and loves peanut butter. Being treat motivated is a help in the training process. He does not care for being crated. Diesel is up to date on vaccines, has tested negative for heartworm disease and his adoption fee includes a voucher for the mandatory neuter and microchip.
