Hi everyone, I’m 4.5-year-old Dior. With a name like mine, you might expect elegance, glamour, and a wardrobe that costs more than your car. Actually, I’m happiest rolling in the grass. Apparently, this is frowned upon on the runway. My signature look? Golden fur on everything you own (you’re welcome tee-hee). I’m a sweet, gentle girl who loves people and regularly puts in requests for petting. I enjoy fetch, toys, and playing with my foster’s Golden. Snuggling is another specialty. Think of me as a luxury lap accessory. Life wasn’t always so lovely. I spent much of my time in a crate, so when I arrived in foster care, even going for a walk was unfamiliar. Since then, my world has grown and so has my confidence and the strength in my back legs. Getting into a vehicle can still be challenging but I suspect that will improve greatly. I need a family who will keep me active, help me where needed, and leave crating out of my future. These days, I’m a lovely walking companion, although I still need practice with my manners when we meet other dogs. Squirrels can go about their business. Cats, however, cannot share my home. Apparently, my squirrel policy does not extend to all small, furry creatures. Now, full disclosure ~ I’m not quiet. Unfamiliar noises and requests for attention can both inspire announcements. My family will need patience and a willingness to help me learn that every occasion does not require a press conference. My basic commands are also a work-in-progress, along with jumping up and counter surfing. I’m looking for a family who will include me, continue my training, and enjoy watching me discover just how wonderful life can be. I may have a designer name; however, my dream is wonderfully simple ~ a life with you made to measure.
