DIAMOND -7935 (ALT ID A1127029)

Behavior Determination: Average A volunteer writes: Perfect family pet alert!!! Diamond is just as beautiful, rare and precious as her name suggests, a sparkling gem of a dog who brings together the best of all worlds in one long-legged supermodel package. She’s the ideal blend of silly puppy fun and well-behaved maturity and truly one of the kindest, gentlest and most easy-going dogs I’ve ever met. Despite a still-healing leg injury Diamond walks fine on just three, doesn’t object to a ride in my arms as we navigate the stairs and strolls happily around the yard once I let her off leash, even giving in to the lure of the great outdoors by flopping onto her back for a roll in the grass! No one is more affectionate and appreciative than this girl and she delights in snuggles and kisses of all kinds. Head petting, under-the-chin caresses, butt scratches, side massages and belly rubs, Diamond welcomes every kind of loving with open arms and the blissed-out smile of a dog who has nothing but absolute faith in the goodness of life and the people around her. She plays briefly but enthusiastically with toys and, always the lady, meets fellow pups politely with soft tail wags and a curious nose. A one-in-a-million find who’d fit into any home with absolute ease, after just one date she’s already skyrocketed to the top of my all time favorites list. Winter is almost here but the lucky family who gets to take Diamond home will be basking in the warm glow of her love for many happy years to come.

Diamond is at risk due to CIRDC.
