My name is Diamond!

DIAMOND NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!

Name:   Diamond    Best Guess for Breed:   Terrier - Chihuahua   

Best Guess for Age:    2 years as of 10/14/2024        Gender:   female

Approximate Weight:    10 lbs.

Gets Along With: other dogs. We haven't seen Diamond with cats but we can test. We would be cautious placing her in a home with children under 12 years old because young kids can often scare small breed dogs with their level of energy or noise.  Children would need to be supervised closely to ensure their interactions with the dog are calm and gentle in nature.  We would be happy to discuss this more in depth with any applicant. 

Currently Living At: the shelter, Diamond needs a foster or forever home in the DC area!

Special Adoption Considerations: Diamond is heartworm positive, but this Lucky Dog got extra lucky! This pup is part of a groundbreaking study we are conducting at our South Carolina Rescue Campus that has the potential to change the way shelters across the United States treat heartworm positive dogs.  All dogs in the study are placed at random in either the 2 shot or 3 shot protocol with strictly monitored protocols in place. Four weeks following their final injection, the pups are eligible to transport to the DC area for placement in foster or adoptive care.  After treatment concludes, we work with adopters to arrange a free follow up heartworm test after 6 months, followed by a second test at 9 months. 

We are happy to discuss this treatment and which phase of the study this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left!

Diamond is Looking For: Picture a pint-sized dynamo that is both tenacious and entertaining. One who will want to go for walks to explore and sniff as well as spending time snuggling in your lap. Once Diamond recovers from her heartworm treatment we expect she will be an energetic little fireball. At two years old she's past the puppy stage and likely starting to mellow a bit. She will need daily walks to keep her healthy as well as the opportunity to play with other dogs at a dog park, doggie daycare, or an enclosed yard.

Training will help Diamond show you what a good girl she can be. Toys that stimulate her natural instincts, such as squeaky toys and puzzle feeders, will be a big hit. She'll also enjoy meeting people and their dogs in her new neighborhood.

Don't wait long to apply for this adorable little furball. With her perky ears, expressive dark eyes, and soft black fur, Diamond is going to have many admirers. You could be the lucky one who gets to bring her home!

What My Foster Says About Me: We will update as soon as Diamond arrives and spends some time with a foster. 

Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training. 

TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment.  If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online at bit.ly/adoptaluckydog

Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption. That said, we cannot make any guarantees about age, breed or temperament.
