Diesel is a 2-year-old Shepherd Mix in Ellwood City, PA, who needs $1,000 for Tail amputation.

I've had diesel since he was 8 weeks old, i had got him from my friend that i had gotten diesels older brother from. His brother is named trucker (was named that when we got him) so we stayed with a truck theme which is how diesel got his name. Diesel and trucker have an annoying lil brother (not related) named chevy. They also have a couple cats, and human children and grandchildren they adore.

Diesel is my shadow he likes to be where ever i am and has a fit if i go with out him. Him and his brother are best buds and very bonded. Diesel loves to play in the snow, he loves to play fetch and go for car rides.he adores the babies and always greets them every chance he gets. He greets everyone when they come in and knows the sound of our cars

I'm on a fixed income and all the extra funds went towards his vet visits twice a week and all his meds. The vet won't do payments and i don't qualify for any of the care credit stuff or scratch pay. Diesel has been on restrictions and i just want him happy and playing again.

The end of October we had a party and the dogs were in their cages, i had come in to take them out and noticed his tail was bleeding he had scratched it off something so i tried keeping it clean and some over the counter meds for a week and it had gotten worse so i called big rock veterinary hospital to make an appointment which was a week later. When i took him dr clauss did xray and meds

Diesel likes to chase the cats. He loves most treats and loves to eat whatever I'm eating. He likes to sun bath on the porch on nice days. He's just a happy go lucky dog. He's a typical shepherd that's leary of things outa place or not supposed to be here. He jumps to try and catch snow flakes, he sleeps with a fan so he doesn't get too hot
