A Note from the Foster: Meet Porter!
Porter is a big 'ol lover recently welcomed from our "Out of the Cold" effort in North Dakota. He's a happy and sweet boy ready for a family of his own!
Porter is a well behaved dog all around. He's friendly with all people and dogs. Cats are an unknown for him. He's enjoying being where I am, and follows me around the house. He curls up for a long hard nap, with lots of grunts and snores in typical bulldog fashion. He likes to bury his head under my arm or in the blanket, and has the best leg kick out "sploot". He can get a case of the zoomies, so you'll need to be aware of his big stocky size:)
Porter is doing really well in the home. He's good in his kennel after going in hesitantly for a treat. He is seemingly fully potty trained with regular let outs. Porter has been good in the car and on leash. Though he is strong, I think he'd learn proper leash walking quickly with a good leader. He does know "sit", and will follow your lead for a treat.
We're having a great time watching Porter's personality emerge as he settles in with us, and know he will make a wonderful addition to a lucky family!
Adoption Fee: $510 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
