Most of the dogs at the Michigan Animal Rescue League (MARL) pet shelter arrived as surrenders or after being picked up from the street. But how this former stray pittie named Diamond came to be there
is a little different than most.
She checked herself in.
“It was truly serendipitous timing,” Audrey Blaylock, communications manager at MARL, told The Dodo. “I was working from home and happened to check our security cameras to see if our transport van was in use, and there was Diamond. I realized she was loose and immediately called our medical supervisor. She opened the garage door, and Diamond walked right in."
Diamond had found the right place.
"The whole thing was just so matter-of-fact," Blaylock added. "It was like she was showing up for a dinner reservation.”
The shelter welcomed Diamond in with open arms, learning later that her previous owner had passed away.
“Beyond that, all we know is what we've discovered since her arrival, which is that she's proving to be an incredibly sweet dog,” Blaylock said. “She has adapted wonderfully and acts like she's always been here.”
And with any luck, the enterprising dog’s stay at MARL will be a short one.
“Diamond deserves a wonderful home,” Blaylock said. “With her sweet disposition and incredibly charming personality, we have no doubt that the right family will fall in love with her.”
