Kira and Auggie are Diamond Collision’s current mascots. They currently spend most of their time at home now that they have a heated and air conditioned doggie condo to live in while Allen and Debbie are at work. When visiting Diamond Collision, they can be seen staring out the employee only door or through the baby gate. They love running through the woods with Allen and Debbie after a long day at work.
Kira is a 50 lb Australian Shepherd that Debbie picked out when she was 4 weeks old and came home with them at 9 weeks old. Kira can be a bit timid so she sometimes barks at people while she runs up to them for petting. She loves to play in the snow.
Auggie is a miniature Australian Shepherd who didn’t stay very mini. Auggie was 8 months old when he came to live with Allen & Debbie. He is very shy and won’t go to people for petting. He also much prefers summer over winter.
