PORKCHOP (affectionately called Wolfie):
Porkchop came into the shelter extremely fearful with 8 other husky mixes. They were left behind in a backyard when someone moved and could not take them all. Porkchop being the youngest, had the least amount of socialization which caused him to be extremely fearful and reactive in the shelter. His quality of life started to diminish and he was put on the euthanasia list. This is no fault to the shelter. This is unfortunately the result of people not being responsible for the pets they produce and leave behind. In turn, setting them up for failure.
I saw his fluffy ears and decided to pull him when I saw him posted on Colleton County’s Instagram as URGENT.
The day he was scheduled to be euthanized I picked him up from the shelter. Although extremely fearful, I quickly figured out the last thing he would ever want to do is bite or harm anyone. The progress from Porkchop has been amazing to watch as he is able to be handled by anyone and everyone that has come to work with him. Porkchop loves his leisurely walks and training with myself and the other trainers that work with him. He loves to chase me around when I tell him he did the right thing and loves his victory laps! He is truly a sweet soul that was highly misunderstood.
Porkchop is dog social and has been around all types of dogs, big, little, male and female.
He is officially ready to find his person! Here are a list of things he knows! And is continuing to learn:
⭐️ Sit, Down, Place, come (working on duration now!)
⭐️ Dog Social
⭐️ Neutral in public (no reactivity to humans or dogs)
⭐️ A hike in the woods is his Super Bowl. This is where he loves to be!
⭐️ Crate trained
⭐️ No kids under 12 (not because of aggression, more because he can get scared easy and hasn’t seen very little children)
⭐️ Cats (unsure) ❓
⭐️ FREE TRAINING FOR LIFE provided by his foster.
As a trainer, this dog has taught me so much and I am forever grateful to him for that. Seeing the light and personality come back into his eyes has been so wonderful to see.
and you save this dogs life by advocating for him. 🩷
