My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Meet Your New Shadow

This sweet boy is a true couch potato at heart. He’s not high-energy and has no interest in a busy, action-packed life. His favorite things are simple: hanging out with his person, taking long naps, and curling up on the couch for snuggles. If you’re a single person or a couple living a quieter, slower lifestyle and dreaming of a loyal dog who wants to be your shadow, he may be exactly who you’re looking for.

He thrives in calm, predictable homes where he can feel safe and understood. Once he bonds with you, he’s deeply affectionate and happiest just being near—content to rest, relax, and soak up love.

It’s important to share that he does need thoughtful handling and ongoing support. In the past, he has bitten people, not because he’s a “bad dog,” but because he was misunderstood and people placed him in situations that felt overwhelming, where he believed he needed to stand up for himself. He is currently working with a professional trainer to rebuild trust in people again and learn how to feel safe.

Because of this, he’ll need a patient, adopter who is committed to continuing his training and willing to learn his boundaries, and how to introduce new people slowly and intentionally. He does best in a quiet home who understands that trust is built over time—not rushed.

This boy isn’t looking for a social butterfly life. He’s looking for a soft place to land, a steady routine, and someone who sees him for who he truly is: a gentle, low-key soul who just wants to hang out, nap on the couch, and finally feel safe and loved.

If you can offer him calm, consistency, and compassion, you’ll gain a deeply loyal companion who will happily be by your side every step—and every nap—of the way.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We require each applicant to complete an adoption application, followed by a home visit. We also contact personal and veterinarian references. We want to make sure that the next home our furbabies go to, is their last, and that they will be loved like a member of the family.

We are a foster based rescue, but do also have a small shelter. You can contact us at diamondunderdogs@yahoo.com to setup an appointment to come out and check out some of our adoptables.

More about this rescue

Diamonds in the Ruff Animal Rescue is a non profit animal rescue organization that is run by a dedicated group of volunteers. Our mission is to protect the welfare of animals, one life at a time, from unnecessary euthanasia. From high kill shelters to foster homes to caring adoptive families, Diamonds in the Ruff handles every aspect of the rescue process. Our animals are examined, vaccinated, spayed or neutered and receive necessary medical treatment. Foster homes are used to provide sanctuary and ensure a successful placement. Our goal is to make the adoption process a kind, informative and rewarding experience because we believe that every animal can become a treasured family pet.

Why we do it:
4 million animals are euthanized each year in the United States.
That is 300,000 a month
Over 11,000 each day
Diamonds in the Ruff Animal Rescue works tirelessly to decrease this statistic.
