About Diamond

Meet Diamond, a lovely 6-year-old Australian Shepherd and Pit Bull mix. This remarkable girl recently found herself in a new situation after being surrendered by her family. Having spent her entire life with them, this transition has left her understandably confused. Diamond has a gentle and sweet personality. She is great with children and other dogs, though she doesn't get along with cats. This affectionate pup is already house trained, crate trained, and knows her basic commands. Since her arrival, Diamond has shown curiosity about her surroundings along with some initial nervousness. While she wasn't thrilled about her first vet visit, her health seems good overall, aside from some dry skin that we're addressing. With a little love and proper care, she'll regain her shine. Now, Diamond is ready for a fresh start and a forever home where she can thrive. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who needs a bit of understanding, Diamond could be your perfect match.
