About Diesel (Dogue de bordeaux) in United States

Diesel is waiting for you at Mastiffs to Mutts Rescue in United States. Looking at Diesel today you would not see the emaciated backyard dog he was when he came to us. What you will see is a happy, handsome Dogue De Bordeaux. The name Diesel belongs to an unloved, forgotten dog; this handsome, sensitive dog deserves a new name given to him by his new loving family. HISTORY: A good Samaritan saw a skinny dog and asked if he could have the dog. Unfortunately, even too thin Diesel was too big for an apartment, luckily the good Samaritan found Mastiffs to Mutts Rescue. On the drive to his foster home Diesel had a deep cough that was worrisome. His initial vet visit ruled out heart worms but his bloodwork indicated a slightly elevated marker that could indicate a heart issue. The Veterinarian’s staff recommended a cardiologist that was able to rule out any heart issues but their x-rays showed bronchitis. More extensive x-rays confirmed bronchitis due to allergies. MTM happily spent well over $1500 ensuring that Diesel simply has an allergy that is easily managed with one medicine a day. PERSONALITY: Diesel is the full package. He is calm, gentle, loving and cuddly. He is open and friendly with every human and dog he meets and he loves kids. The foster family he’s staying with took in a senior dog and Diesel instantly accepted her as a friend. They often sleep touching each other. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Diesel loves ear rubs, belly scratches and living indoors. Diesel enjoys the mattress in his crate and will go there to sleep during the day. MEDICAL ISSUES: As is typical with Mastiffs Diesel has a chicken allergy. He is also allergic to something environmental that had him suffering with ear infections and hair loss. Since going on Apoquel Diesel’s ears are clean and his coat is a gorgeous deep, healthy red. Diesel will need a chicken free diet and Apoquel to stay the healthy, handsome boy that he is, but that is a very small price to pay for the joy he will bring to
