Although yesterday was National Rescue Dog Day that doesn't mean we can't post a couple special canines today!
This is Portia! She is a 6 year old lady from
Hello there. My name is Portia and Iβm a mature, big-hearted gal (literally and figuratively) with a whole lot of love to give.
Hereβs what you need to know about me: Iβm past all that puppy chaos. You wonβt find me chewing your shoes or having accidents on your rug. I am fully crate trained and housetrained, and once weβve had our morning walk and breakfast, I am very happy to settle down quietly and justβ¦ be with you. Iβm calm, quiet, and I donβt make a fuss.
My absolute favorite things are our walks! I am very attuned to my people. However, I do pull a bit so we will need more practice together. I am very responsive to treats though which is super motivating. Iβll check in with you on our walks, and Iβll curl up nearby when youβre reading or watching TV. I just want to be your loyal companion.
Now, I need to be honest with you about a few things, because a good relationship starts with trust. I want to be your only pet. I do not like other dogs, cats, or any small furry creatures. And while Iβm sweet and affectionate with adults, a home with children is not for me. I will thrive in a calm, predictable home where I can relax and know Iβm safe.
I know that might sound like a lot, but hereβs what it means for the right person: you get all of me. No competition, no chaos. Just a steady, loving, gentle giant who thinks you hung the moon.
If youβre a single person or a couple without other pets or kids, and youβre looking for a low-to-moderate energy walking buddy who will be your devoted shadow, I think we could be a perfect match.
Could you be my fresh start?
