Diamond is as precious as her name, a timid yet incredibly affectionate ebony beauty who?d be a strong candidate for the title of both worlds worst model and worlds sweetest dog! You will have to use a bit of imagination to see how truly pretty Diamond is from her photos as during our shoot she?s in perpetual motion, constantly angling for a snuggle session with me or a play date with her doggie friends. Though anxious in her kennel, she is very easy to leash and soon we were out the door and breathing the sweet air of freedom, something Diamond especially seems to appreciate as she points her nose straight up to sniff sniff sniff the air!
This darling pup arrived as a stray and when a simple bounce of the tennis ball sends her cowering under the chairs, I have to wonder if she?s ever known a truly caring home. I gently reassure her that everything is ok and Diamond emerges with a tentative tail wag, eager to be loved and fussed over. All is forgiven as I pet her and she burrows her head into my lap, a perfect little doll. Despite Diamond?s bashfulness she?s still a playful puppy at heart and when other dogs pass by I catch glimpses of the carefree girl she has the potential to be. She leaps and bounds to be near them and the ears that refused to perk for my camera stand to excited attention whenever she sees a fellow pooch. Diamond does pull slightly on leash but seems quite house trained and she?s very responsive when I call her back to me, a little polish and her manners will soon shine as brightly as her namesake. This hidden treasure is still waiting to be discovered by a special, gentle person with the patience to take things slowly as she learns that humans can be trusted and that she will be loved?forever this time.

A volunteer writes: As I pass her kennel Diamond leans against the door wiggling against my fingers and I promise her I will come get her shortly. When I do she wags her tail in anticipation of a walk, and as it is raining outside lets me put a raincoat on her. She is so dashing in her raincoat!! After going potty we head to the park, Diamond showing off nice leash manners and being a better sport than me about the rain. What a good girl! Posing for a couple of quick pictures then moving on, Diamond stops for a quick few seconds to look at each dog we pass before moving on. Off leash in a space inside Diamond loves to snuggle, gets happy and wiggly butt as people pass our area and leans in close, close, closer for some petting ultimately rolling over for a belly rub. She makes an adorable clacking sound with her mouth as I get her sweet spot so cute. Diamond needs a bit of TLC for her coat, but her personality is as perfect as it gets. Friendly, affectionate, sweet and respectful, all she wants is her happily ever after. Come meet her and let her prove to you that diamonds are a girls best friend.

BEHAVIOR AVERAGE

Diamond pulls a bit on the leash. She was excited but very interested in interacting with handler during assessment jumped up. Diamond was excited during some of the handling items, but had soft body language. She was distracted, focused on objects in the room rather than the handler during the tag test. Diamond was easy to handle when chewing on toys.

Diamond needs a significant amount of exercise, mental stimulation. She did not show any concern during the behavior assessment. The behavior department feels that Diamond can go to an Average home.
