Hey there! I'm Portia, a happy and playful pup looking for my forever home here in sunny Florida!
A Little About Me:
•Newly Confident: I've come a long way from being a shy girl! Now, I warm up to new people after a couple of meetings. Once I trust you, I'll be your biggest fan and will happily soak up all the love and attention you can give.
•Playtime Enthusiast: I love to play with my toys! You'll often find me throwing them around and fetching them all by myself. Dental chews are a favorite of mine, and I get super excited when it's time to open 'presents' -- that's when I get to dig into paper towel rolls stuffed with treats!
• I also like playing with other dogs that are my size or smaller (I've never met a dog that's bigger or any other type of animal).
• Cuddle Bug: I adore being petted and cuddling. I like to stay close to my humans, even if we're just enjoying some quiet time together. I'm also a fan of being brushed and am okay with nail trims and baths.
My Skills:
• I've learned a bunch of commands and love to show them off for treats! I know how to come when called, sit nicely, go to a 'place' which can be a mat, bed, or towel on the floor. I will put my head through the harness or slip leash or collar to make it easy for you to get it on. I do a really good down. I can't wait to impress you with my skills.
• I enjoy having a cozy crate that I can retreat to for a nap. If you want me to go in there, all you have to do is say the magic word, and I'll happily go in there.
• Expert at going to potty on training pads.
A Few Things to Consider:
• Outdoor Adventures: While I'm still getting used to the great outdoors and can be a little anxious out there, I've started to sniff the grass and enjoy the fresh air. With a patient and encouraging friend by my side, I know I'll learn to love it more. For now, I'm fully potty trained on training pads, which is super convenient, especially during Florida's rainy days!
• For now, you'll have plenty of space indoors for me to play.
I'm so excited to find a loving family that understands my journey and can help me grow even more. If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate companion who's ready to play and snuggle, then I'm your girl!
Let's make some wonderful memories together!
Ready to meet me? If you think you could be my perfect match, I can't wait to meet you!
Whenever possible Eskie Rescuers United tries to adopt out its dogs locally (or at least to adopters in adjoining states to where I'm being fostered). Please note that ERU processes LOCAL adoption applications before considering those from out of state.
If I'm not local to you, as explained above, and you really have your heart set on me, you will have to make special arrangements so ERU can get me to you safely (for example, flying me to you at your own expense, or paying a transport group to drive me to you). Note: We may ask that you to make a donation to cover transport costs if the distance is great and we have trouble finding transport drivers.
There is an adoption fee required; and, please be aware, Eskie Rescuers United will not adopt out its dogs as outdoor dogs.
