Story
This bonded pair of best friends (Porter & Willow) were surrendered by their tearful owner on April 4, 2025 since (because of health reasons) he could no longer physically take care of his beloved dogs. Porter is an 8-year old neutered male Australian Shepherd mix. He has a tan short smooth coating with brown shading, a long tail, and an adorable face with hopeful innocent dark brown eyes, tan eyebrows, a slender muzzle, and short floppy ears, Porter has a friendly disposition and always seems to have a 'smile' on his sweet face. Porter is a full-figured guy who weighs 55.1 lbs. Willow is a 2-year old spayed female Border Collie mix. She has a sleek black short smooth coat, a long tail, and a beautiful face with expressive brown eyes, a slender muzzle, and large floppy ears. Willow has a happy, outgoing personality and is full of playful puppy-like energy. Willow weighs 44 lbs. We had posted preliminary photos of Porter and Willow in their adjacent floor crates on April 4th shortly after their arrival (and apologized for the photos "behind bars") so that potential adopters/fosters would know that Porter and Willow were in our shelter and would love to be back in a real home environment asap. We promised Porter and Willow that we would take more flattering outdoor photos when the torrential mid-Ohio Valley rains dissipated .. And we had that opportunity on April 7th when the sunshine and blue skies made a welcome appearance. Thanks to HSOV Kennel Techs Lauryn Hamilton and Emma Dahlgren for teaming up to help this beautiful pair of best friends and assisting them with their best poses. Lauryn accompanied Porter while Emma accompanied Willow. Porter and Willow thoroughly enjoyed their 15-minutes of fame and were a pleasure to photograph individually as well as together. These awesome dogs will surely bring a lifetime of love and pleasure to their new family. Since Willow and Porter have already been spayed/neutered, they could leave our shelter immediately with an approved HSOV Adoption- or Foster Application.

Story
Porter is an 8-year old male Australian Shepherd mix who was surrendered along with his best friend/housemate (Willow) on April 4, 2025 for a very sad reason .. since their owner could no longer physically take care of his beloved dogs because of health reasons. Porter has a tan short smooth coating with brown shading, a long tail, and an adorable face with hopeful innocent dark brown eyes, tan eyebrows, a slender muzzle, and short floppy ears. Porter has a friendly disposition and always seems to have a 'smile' on his sweet face. Porter is a full-figured guy who weighs 55.1 lbs. He has already been neutered.

Lauryn accompanied Porter while Emma accompanied Willow. Porter and Willow thoroughly enjoyed their 15-minutes of fame and were a pleasure to photograph individually as well as together. These awesome dogs will surely bring a lifetime of love and pleasure to their new family. Porter and Willow are being listed as a bonded pair since we feel that it is in their best interest to remain together and to be adopted by the same family/individual. Since Porter and Willow have already been spayed/neutered, they could leave our shelter immediately with an approved HSOV Adoption- or Foster Application.
