My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

My name is Diamond and let me tell you that I live up to the name because I love to shine! I am the sweetest and most loving dog that you will ever meet. I am a rockstar in my basic obedience and have done so well that one organization had me in their sights to be a service dog. Wow, could you only imagine! I get along with all dogs and easily fit right in and find my place. I got to spend a week with a family that had 4 dogs and I absolutely love playing with them, even the littlest, I was super gentle because I knew I needed to be. The friend I made while staying that week says that I am the best snuggler in bed, but I need you to be the judge of that. So what are you waiting for? Let's get together and make memories.... afterall, I will love you unconditionally and be your bestest friend for the rest of my life.... Promise!

More about this rescue

We are a prison located in Lockhart TX. We rescue dogs from rural area shelters and take them into the prison for training on basic obedience. They are also house trained and crate trained. Training is done by the women inmate handlers. A professional trainer comes to the prison weekly to teach the inmates how to train the dogs. Dogs live at the prison for 2-3 months, in the cells with the inmates, while they are being trained.

All dogs are up to date on their shots, heartworm negative and on preventative, spayed/neutered, microchipped and trained for basic obedience.
