She's so Bright. 'Diamond Deb' is Billings Featured Adoptable Pet

You know how they say, "Scars add character"?

Our featured Wet Nose Wednesday Pet of the Week is a sweetheart named Diamond Deb. She's absolutely filled with character and she's got a sweet scar to prove it. Diamond Deb was picked up as a stray by animal control and when she arrived at Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter, she had a nasty wound on her back that required a number of stitches. The caring staff at YVAS ensured Deb made a swift recovery.

Boasting a bright white and yellow coat with expressive dark eyes, Diamond Deb was a bit on the shy side as she recovered from her wounds. At first, she refused to leave her kennel to go outside and would shy away from staff. Since her recovery, she's really come out of her shell and nowadays getting out to play and sitting on your lap are two of her favorite things.
