My name is Diana!

Diana has very interesting grayish brown coloring and what looks like half of a tail. She is unique in that way! She is a four-year-old 63 pound terrier pit that originally came from Mesquite Animal Shelter on 10/21 as a stray. She was adopted two months later. Her owners failed to keep her secure and she showed up at the shelter two times in 2022. Both times her owners reclaimed her. On 6/18 this year she came in as a stray. This time her owners are ignoring calls from the shelter so she is now available for adoption. When she was out in the yard, she spent a lot of time looking out the gate. She looked very sad. I suspect she was looking for her owners! She also had drool indicating she had a nervous stomach. Even though she's super sweet she obviously has not acclimated to the shelter yet. Who can blame her? She sits for treats and takes them gently. She's highly motivated by treats and kept sitting in anticipation of a treat reward. She also chased a ball but did not retrieve it. She stayed close, looking up at me with adoring eyes. At the end of the session, she relaxed a little and became more animated. Diana is gentle, friendly, and well-behaved. She has a semi-strong pull on the leash. She did her business as soon as she got into the yard and had kept her kennel clean. She wagged her tail meeting smaller dogs, but when she met some bigger ones the fur went up on her back. We always suggest if you have another dog to ask the shelter to do a dog test. She's already spayed! She needs owners this time that will care enough about her to make sure that she's secure in her surroundings. She would love nothing better than to snuggle up with you on the couch in the evenings during family time.
