Diesel's Story

Meet Diesel! If you’re looking for a pint-sized powerhouse with a big personality and even bigger heart, Diesel is ready to rev his engine straight into your life. This goofy, high-energy Pug arrived at Emerald City Pet Rescue in January 2025 from California, and he’s been charming everyone he meets ever since.<br/><br/>​<br/><br/>Diesel is a happy, silly, go-with-the-flow kind of guy who loves all people and genuinely enjoys meeting new friends, strangers, visitors, and even the vet included! He shows affection by jumping up, barking excitedly, and generally making sure you know he’s thrilled you exist. When the zoomies hit, he spins in circles like a little tornado, earning him the nickname “Diesel Engine.”<br/><br/>​<br/><br/>He feels safest when surrounded by people, cozy blankets, and a bit of chaos, his ideal humans are just as hyper, fun, and engaged as he is. Diesel thrives on attention and enrichment and will happily keep you laughing all day long. He may do well with the right dog companion and can live with playful cats. <br/><br/>​​<br/><br/>This silly little Pug does have long-term medical considerations that will require a dedicated and attentive adopter. Diesel has a jaw condition called cranial mandibular osteodystrophy and limited jaw mobility due to a prior injury. To maintain his quality of life, he needs gentle jaw massages and stretching at least twice daily, along with enrichment like lick mats and slow feeders, which also double as physical therapy. He also has ongoing GI sensitivity that is managed with a prescription wet diet, probiotics, and a carefully structured feeding schedule.<br/><br/> <br/><br/>Because anesthesia is difficult for him, proactive dental care and daily plaque-reducing supplements are essential. Diesel also needs mindful temperature management, as he doesn’t pant efficiently and can overheat easily.<br/><br/>​​​<br/><br/>Diesel is looking for an engaged, patient home that’s ready to invest time, structure, and supervision into helping him thrive. In return, he offers endless laughs, boundless affection, and a one-of-a-kind personality that’s impossible not to love.If you’re ready for a joyful challenge and a dog who lives life at full speed, Diesel would love to meet you.<br/><br/>​​<br/><br/>Diesel is up to date on vaccines, neutered, and microchipped.
