My story

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

This scrappy little survivor is full of spark and sweetness. Just four months old, Heel Diamond came to us in rough shape after being given away on Facebook in Taft. He was covered in fleas and ticks, burning up with heat, and had green discharge leaking from his eye due to a painful foxtail. Thankfully, he was rescued just in time and taken straight to the vet. Despite the discomfort, he quietly tolerated the foxtail removal and simply wanted to be held the entire time.

Now, after some much-needed care, Heel is thriving in his foster home.

He’s a fearless explorer who loves to chew, play, and be right in the middle of the action. He’s social, affectionate, and always curious. Though he starts out a bit submissive, his personality blossoms quickly. Before you know it, he’s bounding around with joy and confidence.

Heel gets along great with the other puppy in his foster home, and he’s learning fast. He’s doing well with potty pads and consistent trips outside. He also lives for belly rubs and cuddles.

Heel Diamond is looking for a forever home that will give him the love, structure, and playtime he craves. He’s got a bold spirit, a gentle heart, and a whole lot of love to give.

Looking to Adopt? Submit a Rescue Questionnaire! Please be thorough in your answers.

Be Ready:
If your application is selected, our rescue counselor will be in touch for a phone interview. Adoptions can happen quickly so be prepared for our call, only apply for dogs that every family member in the home wants, and wait to apply until you return from your vacation.

Please Keep in Mind:
Due to high demand, especially for popular dogs, not all applicants will be contacted. Moreover, we may not reach out if we have already approved a family to adopt. The process can take several days. Thank you for your patience!
