Pet of the Week: Diamond the Dog

Posted: 06/29/12 at 10:05 am EDT      Last Updated: 06/29/12 at 10:53 am EDT

One-and-a-half-year old Diamond is a spayed female who arrived at the MSPCA-Angell’s doorstep back in February because her owners did not have time to take care of her. 

Diamond is an incredibly sweet and playful dog with a lot of energy and loves to be in the yard running and chasing toys. She loves kids, and has lived with children in the past, but because of her large size and active personality we’re looking for an adoptive home with older kids who can handle her energy level.

Diamond is also a huge fan of other dogs and we encourage adopters who have other dogs to look into her; she could be the perfect playmate to your resident doggie!  Diamond has no history of living with cats so if adopters have a cat they should be introduced very slowly.  Like many of the dogs at the MSPCA-Angell’s Adoption Centers, Diamond is required to attend Beginner Obedience Class once he’s adopted, so that she can bond with her new family in an optimal way.

Diamond is ready for her new home today. To learn more about her—as well as other dogs, cats, birds and other small animals available for adoption at the MSPCA—click here.

The MSPCA-Angell Adoption Center in Boston is located at 350 South Huntington Avenue in Jamaica Plain.  Hours of operation are Tuesday through Friday from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
