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: We will update this once she has spent time in foster care.
