My story

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

Meet Diamond!

Diamond was brought to us as a stray with no prior history. She is alert and energetic, wiggly when excited, and seeks attention from handlers. She enjoys treats and moving around, but can become mouthy and easily overstimulated.




My Ideal Home

Diamond would do best in an adult-only home where she can receive patient, consistent training. A calm, structured environment with enrichment and positive outlets for her energy will help her thrive. She will benefit from a household experienced in managing excitable or reactive dogs.




Good with Kids?

No - Diamond is recommended for homes without children under 13 due to her excitable nature, mouthiness, and sensitivity to touch.




Good with Other Pets?

Limited dog history. In initial introductions, Diamond displayed alert and aroused behavior, so careful and supervised introductions would be needed with other dogs.




Leash Manners

Diamond pulls hard on leash and can be difficult to manage during walks. She benefits from structured outings, no-pull equipment, and consistent reinforcement of calm walking behavior.




Overall Health

Healthy overall. Diamond has no current medical concerns beyond minor sensitivities noted during handling.




Behavior Determination

Level 3 - Experienced Adopters: Diamond displays basic manners challenges, social hyperarousal, mouthiness, handling sensitivity, anxiety, and leash strength. She requires an experienced adopter committed to positive reinforcement training and structured management.




Other Fun Facts

Diamond loves attention and affection, but on her own terms. She is excitable and energetic, enjoys enrichment activities, and responds well to calm, patient guidance. She is ready to learn and will thrive with a consistent routine and positive outlets for her energy.
