Hi friends. It’s been a while and I’m sure a lot of you are wondering where handsome Dior has been. A month or so ago a wonderful couple decided to foster him with the hopes it would turn into an adoption. Despite falling madly in love it wasn’t the right fit.

His guarding was too much for them to manage and due to some big life changes it was decided that returning him to the shelter was best for all involved.

While we are all sad to see him back now we have a better idea of what he needs to thrive in his forever home.

✨Ample time for decompression without any big changes to household. Figure a few months to slowly get him accustomed to his new environment.
✨Time to devote to training and willingness to provide structure and boundaries.
✨Fenced in yard
