Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the charming Porter! 🎉 This stunning young dog has a story that will tug at your heartstrings. Born at the shelter, this handsome retriever/hound mix was enthusiastically adopted as a puppy. But alas, after nearly three years, life got a little too hectic for his family, and poor Porter found himself back at the shelter. You see, sometimes, we don't realize what we have until it's gone! But fear not! This beautiful boy is thriving once again, surrounded by love, a spacious yard to run in, and a team dedicated to making up for lost time. You might say Porter has been on a quest for reunification—intergalactic cuddle missions are his specialty! 💖 At three years old and a medium/large bundle of solid muscle, Porter isn’t just a pretty face. He’s a master of body hugs and knows how to absorb human affection like a sponge! 🧡 Friendly, affectionate, and sweet, this calm fellow adores other dogs and enjoys saying a polite hello during his yard rounds. He’s not just a cuddle buddy; he’s house-trained and crate-trained, travels well in the car, and walks like a gentleman on a leash, ready for adventures. Imagine snuggling up on the couch or napping on a porch with this lovable goofball. He’s got wonderful manners, too! Porter's heart yearns for a family—a true place to call home where he can belong. After his experiences of being pushed aside, he truly deserves to be cherished and included in the family dynamic. 🏡 So, if you feel that tug in your heart and want to offer Porter the life he deserves, he’s waiting for you! Don't let him wait any longer; let's turn those dreams into reality! 🥰 Apply through the Buddy App today, because that's where magic happens! Remember, all adopters must come to the shelter to adopt Porter and take him home. Don’t let distance fool you; he could be your new best friend! 🐾
