Dior

My story

Dior is a 4.5 year old Doberman Pinscher/Lab mix, who arrived as an owner surrender due to landlord issues. Dior is such a sweet boy, but is understandably stressed here at the shelter, barking to get your attention to take him out for walks. He loves his time outside of his kennel and engages in play with rope toys and fetch. Dior is nervous with new things but warms up with time. He is quite strong and weighs about 80 pounds, but while he has been back here, he has been working on his leash skills and we are happy to report he is doing great! Dior has presented guarding behaviors, so due to this we are recommending he go to a home with adults only, with experience of larger breeds and guarding. Dior already knows basic cues such as `sit, paw, both paws, stay, down.` And he is eager to learn more!
