Everyone admires Diamond's beauty, but she chooses toys before boys, and she'll race to snag them-but not as fast as she'll steal your heart with her sweet face and waggly tail. She used to be shy but now she shines like the diamond she has always been.
Diamond recently went on a Dog Day Out and here's what her DDO buddy had to say!
"Diamonds are a girl's best friend! Or a guy's! Really, she just wants a best friend!
Diamond is a gorgeous, one year old lab/terrier mix. This is your Ride or Die girl! She's down for walking around Guilford College campus or park, running, playing, driving around, shopping for plants, meandering downtown, or just hanging out at a coffee shop! We did all of these things today and she loved it all!
Diamond likes toys and treats, but she is particularly motivated by affection which she loves to give and receive! Everyone we met fell in love with her; the staff at Awoo Coffee couldn't get enough of her!
We saw golf carts blasting music, lawn mowers, passing dogs, and squirrels and she didn't react to any of them! She DID react to her pup cup with a hearty Two Paws Up!
Diamond does need a little work on her manners as far as jumping up for kisses, treats, and toys, but with time and patience she could be trained easily! For now, though, young kids could probably be knocked down pretty easily. She had zero accidents today and her kennel was super clean; I'd say she's house trained!
Diamond walks nicely on a leash after getting the initial pent up energy out. Her tail wagged so hard all day she was whacking her own shoulders!
We hung out in the adoption room today, but it was pretty slow. She was content to roll around and play tug. She did do what I *think* was a play growl when another dog came in, so slow introductions to resident animals are best. She was redirected quickly and easily."
Diamond is listed as No Small Children because she is a young, bouncy girl who could easily knock a small child over.
As always, we strongly recommend bringing any resident dogs to the shelter for a meet and greet with potential new family members to be sure it's a good match. If bringing a dog for a meet and greet, please bring proof of up to date rabies, bordetella, and DHPP vaccines.
To meet your future pet, come to Guilford County Animal Services between 12 and 4 any day except Tuesday!
