About Portobello

Portobello is an affectionate, quiet, and smart boy, with a playful spirit that shines through. He’s crate-trained and house-trained, making him a great addition to your home. While he does well with children, he’s best suited for older kids who can appreciate his playful energy. He enjoys trying to play with the resident cat siblings, and though they might not always engage, he’s respectful and redirects easily when needed. When he met a small dog, he did great after a slow introduction. Portobello has a medium to high energy level; he loves to play fetch but also enjoys lounging around on lazy days. He walks best with a front clip harness and is non-reactive on walks. A handsome boy with a beautiful coat, his mega-watt smile is sure to brighten your day. If you’re ready, he’d love to find a fun and loving forever home, especially with older teen roommates.
