6/1/16 Very sadly, little Diesel has passed away. RIP sweet boy :(
——————-

Diesel is a petite Patterdale Terrier boy. Diesel is 9 years old and has been in rescue with Rescue Remedies for far too long. How can he have been overlooked with that sweet little face and adorable terrier character?

Diesel is in kennels in Godstone, Surrey. He has an occasional short break out in a foster home, but what he really needs is to find a permanent home of his own.

Diesel is small for a Patterdale, with a lovely little face. Like most terriers, he knows his own mind, but is also very clever and eager to please. He will do anything for a tasty treat!

Diesel would do best in a home with people who are experienced with terriers – he has a huge personality that will appeal to a terrier lover’s sense of amusement. He would prefer an adult home as an only dog, as this is what he is used to.

The dog walkers at Rescue Remedies love Diesel! He loves his walks, taking in the sights and smells, and he enjoys the company of his walkers and the dogs he goes out with. He is very good both on and off the lead and loves getting his paws muddy and carrying a tennis ball around. He sometimes needs to be persuaded to walk if it’s raining, and then he enjoys a nice towelling off and a snuggle to get warm and dry again.

Here is a video of Diesel out having fun on a walk:

Diesel enjoys an occasional short foster break with one of the volunteers at the rescue and is a very good boy indeed. Here is what his foster mum said:

‘Diesel is an absolute darling and I am well and truly smitten. Once I got him home, within minutes, he was my best friend!! He is a sensitive, quiet, and a little reserved terrier. His little face watches you wherever you go and if you catch his eye, his tail wags and his whole face lights up waiting for you to talk to him. He happily follows me up the stairs and loves it when I call him, he comes running with his happy little smiley face, he is really enjoying his weekend. He loves being cuddled on the sofa. He is a real joy to have here and I am hoping someone will see what a deserving boy he is’.

When Diesel has to go back to kennels he must wonder when his forever people will find him and take him to his forever home.
