She's potty trained, gentle when taking treats, and does wonderfully when left home alone. Diamond has the softest fur and loves leaning in for pets once she feels comfortable. With her gorgeous coat and beautiful eyes, she's sure to turn heads wherever she goes! At home, Diamond is a champion napper who loves snoozing in all sorts of silly positions. Every now and then, she'll show off her playful side with a game of tug-of-war with her toys! She's been left home alone for up to five hours without any issues, making her a great companion for someone who works outside the home. She can be anxious and curious when exploring the world outside, so she'd likely thrive in a quieter neighborhood where she can feel more at ease. A home with a yard would be a wonderful bonus for her! She also knows some basic commands, including sit, paw, down, and leave it. Diamond has so much love to give, and we can't wait for her to find a family who will cherish her as much as she deserves. My foster writes: Meet Diamond! A sweet, silly girl who brings smiles to our faces every single day! Diamond is potty trained, gentle when taking treats, and does wonderfully when left home alone. She has the softest fur and loves leaning in for pets once she's comfortable. Diamond gets many compliments on her gorgeous coat and eyes - it's easy to see why. She has a playful side but is also perfectly content snoozing on the couch while you work. When she's outside, her enthusiasm really shines, so she may especially enjoy a home with a yard where she can explore and burn off some energy! As a plus, she knows basic commands such as "sit" and "paw". This pup has so much love to give, and we know she'll make her forever family so happy!
