Dior is a 3 year old Doberman Pinscher/Lab mix, who arrived as an owner surrender due to landlord issues. Dior is such a sweet boy, but is understandably stressed here at the shelter, barking to get your attention to take him out for walks. He loves his time outside of his kennel and engages in play with rope toys and fetch. Dior is nervous with new things but warms up fairly quick. He is very strong and weighs about 80 pounds, he recently presented guarding behaviors, due to this we are recommending he go to a home with teens 16+ yrs old with experience of larger breeds and guarding. Dior already knows basic cues such as "sit, paw, both paws, stay, down." And he is eager to learn more! If you are interested in learning more, contact our placement team at the Town of Hempstead Animal Sheler: E: Adoption@hempsteadny.gov E: Foster@hempsteadny.gov E: Rescue@hempsteadny.gov T. 516.785.5220
