My story

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

**Diana is a courtesy post and is not located at or affiliated with Paws Crossed Animal Rescue

https://petlover.petstablished.com/pets/share/2540101

Socialization: Diana is friendly and loves meeting people. Her tail is always wagging and she loves the attention. She has been around children ages 5-16 and is wonderful with all of them. She has a very sweet demeanor and is happy to be around people of all ages. She has also met her "foster" dog cousins and loves running in the yard with them, or just calmly hanging out together. Diana also has a "pack" of senior chihuahua foster siblings and has been amazing with them. She will follow them around, and is so very careful even with the smallest one of 3lbs. On our vet visit, Diana met the Millie the cat and really wasn't interested in her. She did freeze in position when she first saw Millie, but it was easy to distract her away from her. She has only had this one introduction to a cat.

Training: Diana will come when called, unless she sees her daily deer family in the woods, then she does have to be enticed by her "cookie". Overall she listens very well, and will come right in and sit for her cookie. Indoors Diana is a dream! She is calm, even after running full speed for a length of time in the yard, she comes in and settles right down. She has learned to do the stairs and will venture upstairs with us and the little dogs, and is very well behaved. Diana enjoys her spot on the couch, and does not use a crate. She has one that is open at all times, but she's housetrained and very well behaved so there has never been a need to crate her. From Day 1 she slept quietly through the night in her spot on the couch and will go right outside in the AM and run to her hearts content.

Activity requirements: Diana is a very Young 10 year old and loves her free time in the fenced yard. She will run the perimeter faster than you can keep your eye on her. However, if she was exercised with frequent daily long walks, I would imagine she would be fine as well. I believe she would all love an open area to run in, and seeing the video of her in the backyard, I myself would prefer a fenced yard for her or an area she is able to run.

Fence requirements: Diana is fine with our 4' chain link fence, and if there is not a fenced in yard for her in her forever home, I feel she would at least need a fenced area to run in. She just loves the freedom to run and explore. It's an absolute joy to watch her enjoy her freedom. An invisible fence would also be an option for her.

Personality: Diana is a love, calm indoors and looks for your attention but at the same time is on her own, playing with a toy or watching the squirrels outside. She loves when you snuggle with her, and will look for more if you stop too soon. If you leave her to go out, she will settle right down, is not at all destructive. The only time she was timid was when she was learning the stairs, and walking on the floors. Given time, she has conquered them well!

Health history:  Diana has no known medical issues, she is a petite 33.5 lbs and our vet was very impressed with her. She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and on monthly heartworm prevention. Her next leishmaniasis test is due in July, 2026.

This dog originates from Greece where Leishmaniasis is endemic. They tested negative before coming to the USA, but the parasite can remain dormant in the system for many years, so potential adopters must be willing to commit to annual testing for the next 7 years. Typically, the test needs to be sent to a special lab, but any regular vet can draw the blood and send it to the lab. The cost of the test seems to vary widely by area, but is approximately $150-$250. or if your vet is willing to send the test to a veterinary college lab, cost can be as low as $80.

Foster comments: Diana is an absolute sweetheart. Gentle, loving, fun, goofy at times. She just wants to be loved and part of the family. She would do well with another dog, with a family or just a couple or single person. She is just that amazing and would fit right into a variety of homes!

Foster location: Yorktown Heights, NY
