Diamond is a 4-year-old chihuahua who’s searching for a forever family. One of his humans passed away recently, and the partner is moving and cannot take him along.

So make an appointment to meet Diamond at www.spcaflorida.org/appointment.

He prefers to be the only four-legged member of your family. Make an appointment on the large dog schedule at www.spcaflorida.org/appointment.
