Story
Dog Day Out notes, 4/29/24:Hulk is the sweetest and most affectionest baby. He wouldn`t get in the car so I had to lift him into the back seat, immediately he jumped into the front and wanted to lay in my lap or lean against me. He had no problem getting out of the car and was very excited to enjoy our day together. We walked Lake Michael and he did great on the leash with minimal pulling. He loves to smell, so we did a lot of sniffing and a lot less walking which was fine. We enjoyed our surroundings, meeting dogs and people as we walked along. We also went to Great Bend Park and enjoyed walking and the waterfall. We even got chance to get our paws wet! Hulk is such a sweet dog, not a sound out of him, just lots of tail wags and smiles. Volunteer notes, 4/24/24:There are so many nice dogs at the shelter but Hulk just might be my favorite. I can`t possibly visit without taking him out for some playtime. He is truly an all-around excellent dog. He is playful yet calm, energetic yet attentive, and immediately people-friendly without requiring any special handling. We walked him on leash today and after some initial hesitation at the front door, he did beautifully--no pulling at all. He has such a sweet face and waits so patiently to be taken out; I can`t understand how someone hasn`t scooped him up yet.Volunteer notes, 4/18/24:We loved spending time with Hulk in the play yard today! He was calm and well-behaved on the leash. He was interested in the dogs around him but able to be redirected. He knew `sit` and took treats gently but wasn`t overly treat motivated. He was active and playful but also laid down for lots of pets. Such a nice boy and very smart!

Story
Short-term foster notes, 4/30/24:Porthos is a sweet, gentle, quirky old man. He is potty trained and will whine at the door when he needs to go out. He rides so well in the car and walks well on a leash. He does react to small animals like squirrels and cats who catch his gaze, so he can be brisk but a gentle tug in the right direction is usually enough to direct him back. Porthos loves soft treats and a welcoming couch. One of his favorites in our home was our water fountain, he loved it!! This unique man requires special care from a patient person who will dedicate time and have patience towards how his past life impacts his “now”. Loud noises startle him, though he is hard of hearing. We know he is a kind soul. He takes treats easily and kindly; he’s missing a bit of teeth so it helps to push food in the back of his mouth! He loves chips, chicken. He thoroughly enjoys tummy rubs and rolls when he’s excited!! We loved Porthos and wish he got along with cats because he is the BEST boy! He passes gas that could out-do grown men and we were grateful for every minute of it! We hope someone will love this handsome boy for the rest of his days. Volutneer notes, 4/24/24:Quiet, dignified Porthos has stolen our hearts! We cannot possibly pass by his kennel without taking him out. He has beautiful leash manners and also does well off leash in the play yard. Mostly he wants to take treats very gently, and snuggle with his people. He is fastidious about his bathroom business--clearly house trained. Porthos seems like he`s just waiting for a home with a soft couch and an attentive, loving human.Volunteer notes, 4/18/24:Porthos is so distinguished and dignified! He walked beautifully on the leash and was extremely friendly and gentle. He roamed around the play yard to do his business but mostly wanted to sit with us and accept pets. His coat is so soft. He begged for treats using only his eyes and a casual glance at the treat bag; he is so smart and communicative. His only quirk was that he was anxious about being returned to his kennel.Foster notes:3/31/24 - I am fostering this distinguished older gentleman named Porthos, who I call Buddy. He is around 7 years old and weighs about 80 pounds. He may be deaf or hard of hearing as he only reacts to loud sounds. He is one of the sweetest dogs I have ever known and for being such a big boy he is so gentle. If you are looking for a good companion to share your space on the couch this
