Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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


Dio was originally rescued from an abusive/homeless environment and has made a lot of progress since he found his current home. Dio still struggles when meeting new people and has issues with sudden aggression towards people he doesn't know in his territory.

Dio loves to fetch and play tug with his rope and is a cuddlebug once he knows you. Dio would do best with someone who can spend the time he needs to train and exercise. Unfortunately due yo changing circumstances his current family can not continue to provide the love and support he needs.
