Available for adoption!
This girl is a true Diamond in the rough! She is sooo sweet and loves people even though she has had a bit of a rough past. If you are looking for an affectionate girl with a love for cuddling on the couch with her person, look no further than Diamond.
Diamond is a very petite pittie mix. She is around 2 years old and 35lbs. Sadly she sports the scars of her past but those don’t define her. She has a long burn scar down her back that she had before arriving at the shelter. She also has some scabs and hairless elbows likely from living in a concrete kennel for many months. Diamond arrived at the shelter as a stray very pregnant. She quickly gave birth to 9 beautiful and wonderful puppies, whom she was a wonderful mom to. Her puppies were weaned and adopted or taken in by rescues but Diamond was left behind. She was on the euthanasia list due to time at the shelter and the continued lack of space they face. We were able to save this girl just in the nick of time and now she is looking for the forever family she is so overdue to find.
Diamond has been around a number of other dogs and does fine with them a majority of the time. After spending months alone in the shelter it is understandable that sometimes she forgets how to always share nicely. She also has a bit of a rough play style that may not be every dog’s cup of tea. We think she would love to be an only dog and get the love and attention that she hasn’t had for so long.
Diamond rides nicely in the car, is crate trained and potty trained, and walks nicely on a leash. She meets people on walks with a smile and a wagging tail. She will pull and get excited at the sight of small critters. Diamond should not be in a home with cats. A fenced yard is not required for Diamond but of course we are sure she wouldn’t mind one.
Diamond’s favorite activity seems to be getting on the couch with her human for pets and cuddles. We hope that people see Diamond’s friendliness and affection shine through her rough exterior like we do. If you are interested in this Diamond, email us at
