Diesel is a 7-year-old Blue Nose Pit in Springfield, TN, who needs $202 for Addison's Disease.

Diesel came into my life as a rescue puppy. He was from an accidental litter and his parents owner was giving the pups away. When Diesel was about 4 years old we met my now husband. Diesel instantly loved him. My husband also had a dog named Dunkin and they became the bestest of friends. The four of us instantly became one family.

Diesel loves all the attention he can get, he never meets a stranger. He loves sleeping in the bed with mom and dad, especially cuddling. He loves to spend time outside running around and playing fetch. Food is his ultimate motivation! He loves to wrestle with his brother Dunkin.

Diesel's best friend is his brother Dunkin. He loves to talk back to you or sing. When there is a treat around he is first to let you know he will "high-five" for that treat! He loves to ride in the car. When he's dreaming in his sleep he loves to bark. He also twitches in his sleep which we think is one of the most adorable things. He's also a BIG snorer. He is always so curious about everything!

Diesel was diagnosed with Addison's Disease. He was barley eating, barley had any energy and overall weak with aggressive weight loss. After blood work, chest & abdominal x-rays, the Dr. at the emergency vet said she was 99% certain it was Addison's Disease. We followed up with our regular vet Goodlettsville Animal Hospital and they preformed the ATCH-Stem Test & confirmed the diagnosis.

Diesel's diagnosis was very unexpectant. He means so much to us & we just want him healthy again & back to himself. It has put a burden on us as we have maxed out our credit cards just to pay for the emergency visit & all the tests. His lifelong medication will be costly.
