My name is Pork Chop!

BIG DOG LOVERS…this handsome brindle boy is Pork Chop arrived in May as a stray, and is just the sweetest guy. He’s a big boy that’s dog, kid and people friendly, with gorgeous eyes and markings. Pork Chop is the kind of dog folks would take notice of on a stroll around town, he is distinctive.
Pork Chop was wonderful during the Pups on the Patio event at Starbucks. He enjoyed meeting lots of folks, and did so well with the kids he met. He gently took treats offered, and happily accepted attention calmly, all the while wagging his tail. During play groups he has met several dogs and plays so nicely with all. He is a big boy with a huge heart, ready to be a friend to all, human and canine. Recently Pork Chop went on a day trip adventure. He got in the backseat all by himself then looked like “okay-let’s go have fun!” He rode in the backseat like a champ, never trying to climb up front. He laid down but preferred to sit up and sniff/put his head out the window. He was just soaking that “free/letting go” feeling in. First stop was a 2 mile walk at Kalmia Gardens. He has good leash skills, he needs a reminder not to pull, but does a lot better on the leash once he gets some energy out. Then there was slack in the leash and no pulling after. Second stop was Wild Heart Brewing. He was SO well behaved. He patiently waited for water and his food. The waitress came by the table and he never attempted to jump on her or other customers walking by. A few people stopped to say hi and he eagerly accepted pets, remaining calm and polite. He took treats gently. Everyone sees a big dog when they look at him but he’s a big sweetheart with a goofy side. An active family/family with a backyard or another dog would be great for him!
