About Porter

Meet Porter, a delightful 5-year-old Chihuahua ready to find his forever home. Weighing in at just 5 pounds, he may be small, but he has a big heart. Initially a bit shy, Porter has grown more comfortable in his foster home, understanding that not all humans are scary. He thrives on patience, love, and consistent guidance from his forever family. Porter gets along well with other dogs, so a kind canine sibling would make him very happy. However, he’d prefer a calm environment, meaning rambunctious children might not be a great fit. Porter is house trained and enjoys outdoor time, given he has the opportunity. While he likes to be with his family rather than in a kennel, he settles down when needed. A securely fenced yard is essential for this little guy to explore safely. As he becomes more comfortable, he shows his active Chihuahua side. Having experience with the breed would be a plus for any potential adopter. If you're ready to make a tiny but brave addition to your family, let’s set up a meeting. Porter’s adoption fee is $150, which covers his spay, vaccinations, and microchip. Rescue One is committed to finding loving homes, so be prepared to welcome this little companion into your heart. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
