Diesel

I found Diesel roaming the streets a few months back. With no luck finding his owners, I decided to take him in as my own until an owner came forward. Shelters, Vets Offices and Police Precincts were all notified across Long Island and reports were made. Unfortunately, we had no luck with ever finding an owner which leads me to believe he was dumped on the street. Diesel has a little separation anxiety, but became easily calmed when introduced to my other male pit. They are inseparable! Diesel also has a very sensitive stomach and needs to eat specific foods and treats. He is potty trained but sometimes will have pee accidents inside. Diesel is not destructive at all towards things he shouldn't be, but if you give him a nice fluffy dog toy he will shred it to pieces! He also LOVES tennis balls. Diesel became very attached to my family and I, causing him to also become very protective. Diesel is a sweetheart when it comes to myself, my mom, my grandma, my sister, my two year old niece, and a few more people, but lately he has been become aggressive towards unknown women. He unfortunately bit a cousin of mine as she entered my house one day. Thus the reason for me having to post this. I can no longer keep him in my home. I am looking for a strong male owner for diesel. Someone who can give him all the love in the world, yet be stern and teach him when he does wrong.
