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
