Deep in her heart, somewhere beneath that neglected coat and behind those weepy eyes, Diamonds beautiful spirit still burns brightly. To go from being a family pet relaxing on her own bed to sharing a noisy kennel space with strangers would throw any dog off balance, especially one described by her owners as affectionate, shy and unused to the company of other dogs so no wonder shes feeling a bit lost. Still, Diamonds trying hard to be brave and happily snarfles the treats I offer before accepting a leash and dashing outside just as eagerly as any puppy. After taking care of all her business she focuses on the more important business of exploring her new hood and calmly passes other dogs with no issues at all. While modeling a scarf for our photo shoot, Diamond accepts my petting with gentle stoicism and its easy to believe she lived in relaxed harmony with her kids aged from 6 to 12 years old and shared food, space and toys without complaint. With age comes wisdom and she already knows commands for sit, stay, come, down, and leave it and follows them to a T. Diamond does sometimes bark at strangers who approach her family but once she knows they are friendly we are told she warms right up. You might not guess it but her favorite activities include running around outside and playing with balls so for the perfect balance between cushy couch potato and fun loving baseball buddy, look no further! She even loves a good bath n brush and when better nutrition and health care have spruced up her looks you can go all out on a pampering spa day for this special diva. Diamonds in the rough don?t come any more deserving than our sweet middle aged girl and all she wants is a chance to shine again. Come in to the Manhattan Care Center and discover your very own not so hidden treasure today, Diamond will be waiting.

PROFILE :

Diamond is shy around strangers and will growl if approached too fast. She lives with kids ages 12, 9, and 6 and is relaxed and playful with them. She plays gently with both adults and children. Diamonds owner never really let her around other dogs so she ignores them on the street. If shes approached and not given space, she will growl and show teeth. She has never spent time around cats so its unknown how she would react. She has never bitten another animal or human.

During loud noises such as storms, Diamond is alert and usually goes to lay on her doggy bed in the corner. Her owner says she is not bothered when her food bowl, treats, and toys are taken away and does not need to be pulled off furniture because she gets down on her own when told to. Her owner also says she does not need to be held or restrained from something she wants cause she listens to leave it command. She is not bothered when awoken from her slumber and loves bath and brushing time. She never had her nails trimmed because the cement filed them down when she runs. She barks when someone unfamiliar approaches her home or humans and will keep barking until she senses from her humans that it is okay.

Diamonds owner describes her as friendly, affectionate, playful, and mellow. She has a medium activity level but when shes ready to play enjoys fetch with balls. Her owner loves how loyal she is and her favorite activities include running around outside and playing with balls. When her owner is home, she tends to hang out in the same room. Shes kept mostly indoors and sleeps in her bed in her owners room. Shes very house trained and never goes potty indoors. When outside, she goes potty wherever she can pick up a scent. When left home alone, shes well behaved and has never been crated. Diamond knows sit, stay, come, down, and leave it. For exercise she enjoys off leash walks where she stays close to her owner or wanders but comes when called and on-leash brisk walks/runs and will not pull. She eats Pedigree dry food, two cups, three cups, twice a day. She enjoys any type of house food given to her.
