Pet Pals: Diane

On this week’s Pet Pals segment, WINK News anchor Taylor Petras meets another adoptable dog from the Gulf Coast Humane Society, Diane.

You would never know Diane was neglected before coming to the Gulf Coast Humane Society. Her tail didn’t stop wagging when she visited the WINK News studio. The 5-year-old terrier mix learned how to sit and stay after getting special training at Dogs Playing for Life. Diane is an active, energetic girl who would make a great adventure buddy. Diane loves attention and gives the best kisses, but this sweet girl would prefer to be the only pet in the house.
