NYC Pet of the Week: Meet Diamond

Searching for a dog who’ll help you get in touch with your inner diva? Meet Diamond, a golden girl with plenty of sparkle to add to your home.

“This mellow lady is looking for a couch to curl up on and a human friend to cuddle with,” says the ASPCA’s David Benson of the nine-year-old Lhasa Apso. She may be low-maintenance in terms of exercise (no frenzied sessions of fetch or marathon runs necessary for this dainty canine!), but is demanding of something you’ll have to give a lot of—attention and love. “She likes petting,” explains Benson, “and prefers the surroundings of a soft bed to an open field.”

This smart girl knows how to sit and will work for a tasty treat, and would do best as the only dog in the household. Could you be that special someone with whom she can spend her golden years? “If you think you’ve got the stuff to let this Diamond shine, come on down to the ASPCA and meet this terrific lady,” urges Benson.

To find out more about Diamond, please call the Animal Placement department at (212) 876-7700, ext. 4120. To see some of the other animals at our shelter who are waiting for homes, please visit ASPCA.org.
