Meet Dione! Dione is a 12-week-old, 17-lb (as of 1/10) hound mix with a huge personality packed into a bouncy little body. She’s a goofy, happy-go-lucky puppy with two favorite modes: wildly enthusiastic playtime and serious, melt-into-you snuggles—and she does both exceptionally well. Dione is energetic, playful, and endlessly curious. She loves toys (and almost always has one in her mouth), plays beautifully with other dogs, and adores her foster dog siblings. She’s also met a cat and is very intrigued—she just hasn’t quite learned yet that cats aren’t dogs She’s comfortable with people, affectionate, and not shy at all. While city noises can still make her a little nervous, she enjoys spending time in the yard and continues to gain confidence. Dione is crate trained, puppy-pad trained, and can relax quietly in her crate for a few hours. She’s not fully house-trained yet and hasn’t started leash training—both normal for her age. Like any teething puppy, Dione needs frequent redirection to toys and is learning basic boundaries such as “no” and “leave it.” She’s smart, eager, and learning quickly. She doesn’t resource guard, doesn’t mind being petted, and while she’s still getting used to being picked up, she improves every day. Dione would thrive in a home ready for active puppy life, continued training, and lots of love. She’s bright, affectionate, playful, and full of potential—and will make an amazing companion for someone ready to grow alongside her.
