Diamond is Everyone's Best Friend: Dog of the Week

This little pug/shih tzu mix will add some sparkle to your home.

Hello friend!  

My name is Diamond and I’m a pug/shih tzu mix.

Mixed with pure cuteness as I like to say.

I’m a diamond in the rough. Some say I look like an Ewok – I say so what? Now you don’t have to dress me up for Halloween next month! Behind my scruffy yet irresistible appearance is a hidden gem.

I am full of spunk, love, and happiness. I absolutely love meeting new people and always aim to be the center of attention. So yes, I am a diva. But when you are this small, you need a big personality!

Because I am so friendly, I will do well in just about any home. I will add that special flare to a quiet home, yet fit right in with a family full of rambunctious kids and other pets. Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but this diamond is for everyone!  rue gems like me are hard to come by so don’t miss your chance with me! Stop what you are doing and come over to Small Miracles now!
