About Diamond

What are you waiting for? Apply today! Diamond is a stunning blue pittie girl with a heart as sweet as her soulful eyes. She is affectionate, gentle, and loves nothing more than a cozy nap in her bed or snuggling up as a true couch potato. In her foster home, she proved herself to be quiet, reserved, and quickly bonded with her human, showing off her charming habit of 'pawing' for more attention and doling out gentle kisses. Diamond is crate trained and house trained, making her a wonderful companion for a calm household. Diamond thrives as the only pet in the home—she is dog-reactive and defensive with other dogs, and her high prey drive means she isn’t a fit with small animals like cats or squirrels. Because of this, she should not visit dog parks and requires careful handling on walks, especially in areas where she might encounter other animals. While she isn’t actively aggressive, she is a strong and big girl (about 70 lbs) and will stand her ground if challenged. An experienced bully breed owner who can continue her obedience and leash training is a must. Diamond would do best with a securely fenced yard and a family wanting a loyal, loving companion who will devote herself wholly to her people. Let this sweet lady show you just how much love she has to give for years to come. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
