My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

The strong silent type can provide the best love you can have. Dijon has had a rocky start in life, but he is so ready for another adventure, and hopefully it can be with you! This pup enjoys being in a more mature environment with adults-only and would prefer to be the center of all of your love and attention without any competition from other dogs or cats. Being alone can be rough for him at first, but he is so open to learning and growing with you. Based on previous reports, Dijon absolutely loves being an active pup! He has been great on long walks, and absolutely adores playtime.

Are you Dijon's new family? If you're looking for a sweet furry friend that'll just want your love, understanding, and patience with fun playtime in between all of the growth and learning together, then maybe this softie is just for you.
