Diamond
Hello, my name is Diamond. My animal id is #18180. I am a female black dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years 3 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a returns on 03-Feb-2018.
Diamond is at risk for medical reasons, having been diagnosed with Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex, which is contagious to other dogs. Behaviorally, we have no concerns for Diamond, whom we believe would be suitable to most homes.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: Diamond is a pretty oreo cookie, delicious, well made, so tempting and ready to be your every day dessert. She sometimes makes this soft whining sound drawing attention to her. Take me out, take me out, I want to be with you… Few can resist…Diamond is leashed in no time and flies to the street…Doing her business is her priority. She is a good walker, pulling slightly and always excited in a nice way to meet other dogs. Diamond is very playful in playgroups with her peers. She loves to be leash free in the yard and proves herself to be an excellent ball player and retriever. No guarding involved She is beautiful to watch, jumping and leaping through the green spaces, catching the ball and bringing it back to my feet. She is a good sitter but also likes to stand on her hinds for treats. It is without say that Diamond enjoys cuddling moments too and is a very endearing lap dog. Diamond is a very sociable, friendly and playful gal who is young and would be a perfect match for an active new master or family. She is at the Manhattan Care Center, waiting to be yours.
My medical notes are…

We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct her energy and enthusiasm.

Force-free, reward based training only is recommended.
