So you can sleep tight

About Diva

Diva is a delightful 1-year-old, spayed Lab mix, currently weighing around 35 pounds. She's a bundle of energy and affection, always ready for playtime and eager to share her love. Diva's tail-wags are infectious, and she approaches life with a playful, outgoing spirit. She enjoys romping with other dogs, especially those who can keep up with her active nature, and she's just as content exploring on her own. Diva has been observed to mostly ignore cats, though she does have a knack for 'borrowing' their food if given the chance. While she hasn't lived with children, her gentle demeanor and affectionate nature suggest she'd do well with kids who are old enough to manage her enthusiasm and protect their snacks from her curious nose!

Ideal Home

Diva would thrive in a home with another playful dog to share her zest for life. She'd also do best with someone who is home often to provide her with the structure, love, and activity she craves. Regular walks, plenty of playtime, and the opportunity to sleep close to her people are essential for her happiness.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions are noted in the listing.

Training & Support

Diva is crate trained and does well when crated for short periods. She's very food motivated, which makes her eager to learn, but it's recommended she be fed separately to prevent her from trying to sneak extra treats from other dogs. She shares toys well. Diva is still building comfort with car rides, so patience and consistency will be key for longer adventures. A unique quirk is that when corrected, Diva becomes vocal, howling as if she's having a conversation – it's a charming and funny trait!
