Diva is a 1-year-old, spayed Lab mix currently weighing about 35 pounds. She is being fostered in Houston, TX, and can transport out of state once matched with an approved adopter through rescue-arranged transport.

Diva is a playful, affectionate, and outgoing girl with plenty of pep in her step and love to give. She adores running, playing, and chasing with other dogs, especially those that can match her fun, active spirit. Her tail is always wagging, and shes just as happy exploring on her own as she is romping with a canine buddy. Diva would thrive in a home with another dog who shares her zest for playtime.

On leash, Diva does wonderfully she stays close and walks politely without pulling, making her an enjoyable companion for daily outings. Around cats, she mostly ignores them but will happily sneak a bite of their food if she gets the chance. She hasnt lived with children while in foster care, but she is affectionate and gentle, and her foster believes she would do well with kids, especially those old enough to manage her enthusiasm (and protect their snacks from her curious nose!).

Diva is crate trained and does well when crated for short periods, usually just for meals or when her foster is away from home. Shes very food motivated, so shes always eager to learn, but she should be fed separately as she might try to sneak extra treats from other dogs. With toys, however, she shares well and enjoys playing without issue.

Her personality is outgoing, playful, smart, and affectionate. She loves toys, cuddles, and meeting new people she greets strangers with a friendly, tail-wagging enthusiasm. Diva is still building comfort with car rides, so long adventures will be something she needs to work up to with time.

Diva has a few quirks that make her especially endearing. When corrected, she becomes vocal, howling as if shes trying to argue her side of the story its charming and funny, like shes holding a conversation.

Her ideal home would be one where someone is home most of the time to give her the structure, love, and activity she craves. She would do best with regular walks, plenty of playtime, and the chance to sleep close to her people.

Loving, lively, and full of personality, Diva is more than ready to find a family of her own. With patience, consistency, and plenty of affection, she will blossom into the perfect companion.
