About Porter

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side, Porter might just be your perfect match! At 10 years old, this handsome gentleman has mastered companionship.

Porter is a professional shadow, happily following you from room to room to ensure you’re never alone. When it’s time to relax, he’s gentle and devoted, an expert cuddler who would love nothing more than to curl up beside you. He’s also an excellent car companion, is leash trained, comes when called, and enjoys squeaking soft toys. Very treat-motivated, he's eager to learn. While Porter may be a senior, he has so much love left to give. He doesn’t need grand adventures—just a family to love, a comfortable spot to rest, and someone who appreciates the joy of having a best friend nearby.
