About Diva

Diva is a 1-year-old, spayed Lab mix who currently weighs about 35 pounds. She's a playful, affectionate, and outgoing girl with a zest for life and plenty of love to give. Diva adores running, playing, and chasing with other dogs who can match her energetic spirit. Her tail is always wagging, whether she's exploring on her own or romping with a canine friend. While in foster care, she hasn't lived with children, but her gentle and affectionate nature suggests she'd do well with kids, especially those old enough to manage her enthusiasm. Diva is crate trained and does well for short periods, typically during meals or when her foster is away. She's a smart cookie who is very food motivated, making her eager to learn new things. She gets along well with toys and enjoys sharing them. Diva's personality is outgoing, playful, smart, and affectionate. She loves toys, cuddles, and meeting new people, greeting them with friendly, tail-wagging enthusiasm. One of her endearing quirks is her vocalization when corrected; she howls as if holding a conversation! Diva is still getting comfortable with car rides, so longer adventures will require patience and time.

Ideal Home

Diva would thrive in a home with another dog who shares her love for playtime. She would do best with regular walks, plenty of playtime, and the opportunity to sleep close to her people. Her ideal home would also have someone who is home most of the time to provide her with the structure, love, and activity she craves.

Ongoing Health

No specific health concerns are noted in the description.

Training & Support

Diva is crate trained and does well for short periods. She is very food motivated and eager to learn. She should be fed separately from other dogs as she may try to sneak extra treats. While she shares toys well, she needs time and patience to build comfort with car rides. Her vocalizations when corrected are noted as charming and funny.
