A volunteer writes:  “Diamond is a well mannered dog and has been a great companion and considered part of the family.”  But despite that, due to personal issues, Diamond is now in our care.  Diamonds are a girls best friend, and this Diamond is definitely best friend material.  Joining us with an excellent resume of a cherished companion, we’re told  that Diamond is friendly and outgoing to all, spent time with young children and was relaxed, playful and respectful with them, doesn’t guard her things, likes to play with balls and toys, is housetrained and likes to potty on grass (and waited until we got to the grass in the park to potty), is well behaved when left home alone, and knows ‘sit’, ‘come’, ‘down’ and ‘stay’.  Diamond is a gorgeous girl in a rich, deep and gleaming brown coat (think dark chocolate), and has a tiny little diamond shaped white spot on the top of her head.  It’s her diamond shaped love button as I called it.  Her leash manners are lovely as we stroll easily through the park, Diamond wagging her tail gently at other dogs.   When I sit to take some notes she sits close at my feet, a quiet and gentle friend.  Diamond has enjoyed both soft and chase play in her playgroups, and is ready to find a warm, loving home in which to enjoy her happily ever after. She is definitely perfect best friend material and waiting to prove it to you. I picture her curled up on the couch after a nice walk and some play time, keeping you company as you binge watch Netflix, or read your favorite book.  Come meet her today and let her show you how amazing she is.

PROFILE :

Basic Information
Diamond is a chocolate and white colored, large female dog. Her owner surrendered her due to personal reasons. Owner stated that she got Diamond as a gift from a friend when she was just a puppy. She further stated that Diamond is a well-mannered dog and have been a great companion to her and she considers her a part of her family. Diamond currently has no visible signs of injuries or illness.
Socialization
Diamond is very friendly and outgoing around strangers. She lived at home and spent time with owner’s nieces-both six years old–and was relaxed, playful and respectful around them. Diamond is gentle and somewhat exuberant when playing with adults.  She only spent time with other dogs whenever she’s out walking and was relaxed, playful and respectful around them. And, she has never bitten a human or another animal.
Behavior
Diamond has a very good behavior and isn’t bothered by loud noises. She is friendly if you touch her food or bowl while eating or take her toy away and is not bothered if pushed off furniture or disturbs while sleeping. She isn’t bothered if bathed or brushed or nails trimmed. She is friendly if unfamiliar faces approach owner or her family or her home.
For a new Family to Know
Diamond is a very friendly, affectionate, playful, confident and independent dog with high energy level. She has been a great companion to owner; follows you around at home and would be in the same room all the time.  She likes to play balls, fetch and chase; was kept mostly indoors and slept on owner’s bed. She was fed dry dog food (Dog chow), and has no favorite treat. She is house trained and never had accidents. She goes potty on grass when outdoors and is well behaved when left alone at home. She has never been crated and understands the commands sit, come, down, stay. She goes on slow and off leash walks in the park, pulls lightly on the leash and stays close to your side when off leash.
Behavior during Intake
Diamond had a very relaxed body with an open mouth and a wagging tail. She allowed petting, jumped on counselor’s body, gave kisses and took treats. She allowed all handling and went in the kennel on cue.
