Diamond A265360

Hi, I’m Diamond!

My foster volunteer says I am housetrained and: “Diamond is amazing! She is calm and always cooperative. Her favourite activities are being with her people whatever they are doing, long walks, and cuddling against her people. She is perfect on leash and a complete joy to be around.”

The staff at the OHS call me a Bashful Buddy. Bashful Buddies are known for their slow starts in both exercise and relationships. Because of this, they tend to enjoy a predictable environment, a calm home, and consistent routine, and they really benefit from having someone that pays attention to their needs when they're feeling uncomfortable. While they can take a little extra time to adjust to changes, once they settle in it will feel like they've always belonged! Bashful Buddies tend to need a modest amount of exercise and usually enjoy leisurely strolls around their neighbourhood and play sessions at home. Other activities that they may enjoy include work-to-eat games like food puzzles, training games, and searching out hidden treats. If you're looking for a companion to share your quiet lifestyle with, consider a Bashful Buddy!

Bashful Buddies can have different ways of expressing themselves and it might take a little while to figure out their unique preferences. Once comfortable, some Bashful Buddies will enjoy lots of affection, while others may prefer less-interactive companionship.

I have a hygroma on both of my elbows and “ankles”, likely from lying on hard surfaces. These hygromas should be monitored and may require veterinary care in the future. I will benefit from padded bedding and multiple padded areas to lie down to prevent the hygromas from growing larger.

I have allergies that should be monitored by a vet.

I have some teeth that are worn. This is likely due to me chewing objects that are too hard. I will require regular veterinary check-ups to monitor my teeth. In the future I may need dental care for this condition under general anesthesia, possibly including dental extractions or other procedures.

I don't always appreciate unfamiliar dogs in my personal space and I'm not ready to make friends with every dog I meet. I need slow, gradual introductions when making new friends.

I am looking for a home where kids are 10+.

I am looking to be the only dog in the household.

I am currently relaxing in a foster home.
