Diamond is a 3-year-old, small Shih Tzu mix with a friendly and playful personality. He weighs about 13 lbs and thrives in the company of both other dogs and children. Diamond is fully house, crate, and pee pad trained, making it easy for him to settle into a new environment. He enjoys running around in a securely fenced yard with a dog companion, and gets excited for daily harnessed walks. This little guy is smart, gentle, and eager to please. Belly rubs, chew toys, and car rides are some of his favorite things. Diamond does have a vocal side and tends to chew, so he needs plenty of appropriate chew toys and supervision—especially outdoors where he might dig. His playful energy pairs best with another active dog. Leadership, consistency, and continued training are important for him. Diamond needs a home where someone is around often; he is not suitable for long periods alone. Applicants must have a secure, fenced yard and another playful dog. Local adopters (West Deptford/Cherry Hill, NJ area) will be prioritized since in-person home checks and meet-and-greets are required. To help him settle, it’s recommended that new families allow him at least two weeks to adjust quietly before visitors come by. Diamond is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and microchipped.
