Dior's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome him: "I do not want a dog. My lifestyle does not align with having this responsibility. I only took him in because there was a death in the family and I didn't want to see him go to a shelter." Bite incident: In July 2023, in Manassas, Virginia, Dior bit another dog over food; the bite didn't break the skin and animal control was not involved. Dior's guardian explains: "This was due to my fault solely. I wasn't educated about resource guarding. Two dogs were present and I went to throw Dior a treat in the air to catch it and a fight broke out." Dior's guardian offers a brief a medical history: "Dior has seasonal allergies and he's allergic to poultry, grain, and pork. He is currently on a grain-free diet and takes Benadryl on a daily basis."

He has only been around minimum contact with my teenage niece who sometimes will walk with us".
