Here's what the humans have to say about me:
"Diamond" is an approx 60-lb, 1½-yo (born 8-13-17) spayed female GSD mix who is very sweet, playful and at times a little timid. Diamond is 75% GSD, 25% Husky.
Diamond loves people and especially children. She was recently adopted by a family with boy 3 & 6 yrs old and for the most part did great with them. However, on the second day in her new home she all of a sudden started barking at the younger boy while he was watching TV. The mother was home and got Diamond to calm down, but the incident scared her and led to her and her husband returning Diamond to GSRSV. I believe that Diamond was simply initiating play the same way she would with another dog, but nonetheless such a tactic is certainly scary for such a young boy and I can hardly blame the couple for returning Diamond. I still feel that Diamond would do great in a home with children, but she probably needs a little more time to learn appropriate behaviors.
Adoptapet.com as well) who she still lives with. I'm not sure how Diamond will do with small dogs so I'll be cautious placing her in a home w/ small dogs.
Diamond in NOT good with cats.
Diamond is completely housetrained and non-destructive inside.
Diamond has not received any formal obedience training but does respond well to some basic commands. Diamond walks easy on leash and is non-reactive towards other dogs that she sees. She has fairly good recall off-leash. Diamond rides calmly in a vehicle.
Diamond loves to play fetch and tug-of-war with rope toys. See elsewhere on this page for a video of Diamond chasing a soccer ball with two young boys.
Diamond's owner Lily raised her and Blaze from the time they were six weeks of age. She loves Diamond but she had to move to a house with a much smaller yard and simply did not have the time to spend with Diamond & Blaze that she knew they deserve. GSRSV took Diamond & Blaze in on 9-16-18.
Diamond is located in a foster home in Lincoln. Her adoption fee is $210.
