A volunteer writes:   We’ve all met this person – sultry, sexy, bedroom eyes…you think you’re going to meet a calm, sophisticated contained person and then………….   Diamond is that girl!  In her kennel she’s letting you know she’s ready to come out and make a new friend.  Rushing to go outside to go potty (whew!) we head to the park, Diamond showing off lovely leash manners.  Posing for photos like a pro, I think it’s clear that she’s used to a camera (yes, she’s that gorgeous and poses that well), and is an easy model.   Showing off her sit and shake paw (both of them), she takes treats gently, watches the squirrels romp and we’re back to the building for some off leash play time.  TOYS!  Diamond loves tossing around toys able to amuse herself and have the best time.  Picking up a stuffed frog that made a ‘ribbit’ sound left her completely perplexed :).   Our left over pumpkin became a ‘jolly ball’ for her as she batted it around the pen.   Diamond was adopted and returned to us as she wasn’t comfortable with the youngsters in the home playing too rough with her and is described as playful, affectionate, friendly and energetic. She’s housetrained, well behaved when left home alone, loves toys and balls, and loves to be in the same room as her people.   If you’re ready for a fun, friendly, playful and sexy little girl, Diamond is ready to prove that old expression that Diamond is a girl’s (or boy’s) best friend.   Come meet her today.

09/03/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Yes, Diamond’s are a girl’s best friend, but this Diamond doesn’t care about gender – she wants to be your best friend. A family dog who lived and was relaxed and playful with children between the ages of 4-11, lived with cats and played rough with them, loves toys, is housetrained, playful and affectionate is looking for a new family to love. Surrendered to our care due to “personal problems”, Diamond has been lovingly cared for; her weight is perfect for her size, her coat clean and shiny, and other than needing a mani/pedi she’s perfection. Diamond showed off her housetraining skills, her lovely leash manners, her sit and paw, gives soft kisses and joined me on the bench for some snuggle time. Ignoring small dogs we pass in the park, she wags her tail at the big dogs, and when off leash with other dogs engages in running play. She’s so smart that she’ll offer correction when mounted or is not comfortable with another dog’s play style. She’s a girl who knows what works for her – I love that! Diamond knows her name and wags her tail when I call her, poses for photos like a pro, and back at the building gives hugs and kisses to one of our transport drivers who wanted to meet her. Friendly, sweet, affectionate and a proven family dog, our behavior team feels she’ll be a good fit with a person or family with average dog experience. Come meet our polished, multifaceted gem today, and make this Diamond your best friend. You simply couldn’t do better.
