Diamond is tolerant of a bath and has not had her nails trimmed. She guards her food against other animals but not people. Diamond knows the commands sit and come. She plays fetch and tugging games. When the family is home she likes to be where they are and when home alone she is well behaved. Diamond eats wet and dry food. Upon intake Diamond was receptive to introduction and loose for all handling. Counselor was able to scan for microchip (negative) collar and photograph.

09/04/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: This little jewel truly sparkles when you give her a ball! Despite her stunning good looks, icy blue eyes, pink nose and pouty lips, Diamond is more tomboy than dainty lady. She eagerly chases down a ball and if thrown directly at her will catch it mid air. When I toss the ball down the yard she gets some major air between her and the cement as she leaps to retrieve it. But Diamond is not all fun and games, either. She’s loving and warm: a staff member told me, “She gives the best kisses.” And her previous owner said she’s playful and affectionate with the whole family–even two small children! Diamond doesn’t mess around when it comes to doing her business outside, sitting for treats and walking nicely on the leash. Diamond seems interested in other dogs she meets, but is more concerned over when the next game will happen or what toys I have in store for her. Come meet Diamond at the Brooklyn Care Center and see just how bright she shines!

Helper dog: A1048716 Diamond previously lived 2 adults and 2 small children. The owner stated Diamond is affectionate and playful with all family members. The owner mentioned Diamond is house trained and when home alone she is well behaved.

Diamond was distracted but not fearful during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Diamond was easy to handle when engaged with the items. When on leash for a dog interaction with another dog on leash Diamond rushes in with her tail high, tense body and ears erect.
