With his sleek hound frame, glossy coat, and deep soulful eyes, Dio is every bit as stunning as he is sensitive. He was found as a stray, and while life left him a little unsure, he’s blossoming into a loyal and gentle companion.
At first glance, Dio can seem shy. He often hangs back, watching quietly until he feels safe enough to approach. But once he decides you’re a friend, he shows his true nature — gently touching your hand with his nose for fuss, curling up nearby, and enjoying the comfort of your company. He really does love to be close once that bond is formed.

Dio sometimes shows his nerves by gently growling at people from a distance when he feels unsure — especially around younger children. This isn’t aggression, but simply his way of asking for space. In fact, he can go from hanging back and growling to curling up beside you for cuddles once he feels safe. Because of this, we feel he will do best in an adult-only home, or with calm, older, dog-savvy teenagers.
He isn’t a high-energy dog and loves his naps, but he will thrive with regular walks, gentle guidance, and a calm home that lets him build confidence at his own pace. He’s also learning to feel secure when left in a crate for short periods, but ideally he would suit an older adult or couple who aren’t out for long stretches.
