Name: Diamond Best Guess for Breed: Wirehaired terrier mix Best Guess for Age: 14 years as of June 2026 SEX: Female Approximate Weight: 19 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs! Diamond has lived with cats in a previous foster home. We haven't seen her with kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: DC area foster home Heartworm information: Diamond is a truly Lucky Dog. She tested positive for heartworms, but landed in a place where heartworm treatment is provided! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment.We are happy to discuss where in the treatment process this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left! Diamond is Looking For: Her final and forever home. No 14-year-old dog should land in a shelter but well, here Diamond is - and she's just eagerly looking forward to once again having her own humans, to loving and being loved. Sniffy meandering walks, a warm sunbeam, a cushy dog bed, tasty food, and snuggles - such a simple wish list. In exchange she promises so much love and loyalty. What do you say? Is Diamond the jewel you've been waiting for? What My Foster Says About Me: Diamond is a sweet, affectionate girl who loves being close to her people and happily follows them from room to room. She’s done great with house-training and does a great job letting you know when she needs to go outside. Diamond has also wonderful with crate training, settling in happily with a little treat and sleeping soundly through the night. She has an adorable mix of energy and relaxation—she enjoys her zoomies and staying active, but is just as happy to curl up for a nap by your feet. She’s also a quick learner who picked up her walking routine in no time! Diamond is interested in meeting other dogs and is happy to make friends, while also respecting their cues if they’d rather do their own thing.
