01/12/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Diamond might need a little time to warm up to new people, but it is a small price to pay for her sweet, sweet company! She comes to us with her housemate due to a move, and can be skittish and timid, but absolutely wants to trust and bond with people. We’re told she has a low activity level, was playful and tolerant with a 3 year old, and manages to sneak into the garbage when no one’s looking. She seems housebroken, doesn’t pull on leash, and is SUPER treat motivated (they help her identify new people as friends, too!). After several walks together, she now calls to me from her cage, readily props her paws in my lap, does very brief play spins, wags her tail, and will even kiss me gently on the nose. In the presence of a familiar face, she also seems more confident, propping her paws up on the fence to check out the unfamiliar face on the other side and softly wagging her tail. She looks a little rough around the edges, but even without polishing, she is an absolute gem! She’s small in stature but big in heart… please come see her at Brooklyn ACC!
