MSPCA-Angell Pet of the Week - Diamond the Dog!

A weekly post from the MSPCA-Angell showcasing an adoptable pet!

How can it be that a young, gorgeous, energetic and super sweet dog could still be at the MSPCA-Angell's Adoption in Boston after almost nine months?

That question baffles the staff at the Jamaica Plain animal rescue, who hopes to find the perfect forever home for this amazing two year old girl.  Diamond is a super active dog whose ideal home would be with someone that will play with her outside and take her for long walks.  She loves other dogs - and living in a home with another active, playful dog would be a huge plus for her.

Diamond is also wonderful with kids and has lived in a home with kids before.  She's robust and strong, so it will be important for kids to be able to handle her size and energy level.  Diamond has never lived with cats before and the MSPCA believes she'll do fine with them -- but introductions with cats should be very slow and cautious.
