My name is Diem!

Hi, I’m Diem—a friendly puppy with wobbly back legs, but don’t let that fool you! My legs don’t hold me back one bit; I’m a little spitfire who lives life in full force. My amazing team is working hard to help me out, but in the meantime, I’m busy being the happiest, most playful pup around. I absolutely love toys—especially squeakers and chew toys—and when I’m not playing, you’ll find me enjoying one of my favorite pastimes: napping!

At night, I’m super quiet and cozy in my kennel, giving you plenty of rest. I’m also working on potty training and learning to eat slowly (sometimes I get a little too excited about mealtime).

If you’re looking for a sweet, spirited companion who loves to play, cuddle, and nap, I’m your girl.

Diem was an injured stray found on the side of the road. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.

*Rescue puppies are notorious for losing their birth certificates before entering our rescue. We cannot guarantee the breed or size they will be full grown.*

If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
