My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hey there, awesome folks! The name's Porter, and I'm here to bring some excitement and love into your life. Let me tell you a bit about myself and why I'm the perfect furry friend for you!
First things first, I'm a lively Boxer Pit mix, just a sprightly 8 months old, bursting with energy and enthusiasm for life. Yep, you read that right-I'm all about living life to the fullest and having a blast with my favorite humans!

Now, about my previous home-well, my last owner surrendered me due to health reasons, but hey, it's all good! It just means I'm on the lookout for a new family who's ready to embrace my playful spirit and shower me with love and cuddles.

Here's the scoop-I'm a real social butterfly, especially when it comes to other dogs. Whether it's romping around in playgroups or simply enjoying the company of furry pals, I thrive on companionship. Oh, and speaking of companionship, I've even lived with cats before! Yep, I'm a versatile guy who gets along with everyone.

When it comes to children they can be a little outside my comfort zone. My last home had grandchildren that I got on well with, but I didn't do so well with a child who was visiting. I would need to meet any little ones in the home before going to live with them. A calm and slow introduction should help me warm up to them.

When it comes to walks, I've got a medium amount of energy, and I'll admit, I might pull a bit at first out of sheer excitement. But hey, once I settle into the groove, I'm a breeze to walk and will happily trot alongside you, taking in all the sights and smells. And with a little bit of training I can get over that eager pulling behavior.

And guess what? I'm a quick learner! Yep, I can sit like a champ, and with a little positive reinforcement and some tasty treats, I'm sure I can master even more commands to impress you.

Oh, and did I mention I'm a total sweetheart? Yep, I love nothing more than giving kisses and snuggling up with my favorite humans and furry friends. So, what do you say? Ready to welcome a bundle of love and joy into your home? I promise to fill your days with laughter, love, and plenty of tail wags. Let's make some unforgettable memories together!
