Meet Porter

A STRONG & FRIENDLY BOY:  Approx. 4 years old / Approx. 58 lbs. Hello, I’m Porter!  Mostly Mutts rescued me from animal control, and I am super grateful that they are helping me on the journey to find my new family.  I’m soaking up all the love and good care from the shelter volunteers while I wait, and now I am ready to meet my new family – hopefully soon! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I do not like other dogs, so I want to be your only dog! / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let’s meet and best no young kids that I may bump over.  Also, kids should not walk me due to my dislike of other dogs and my strength.  • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  The volunteers call me a ‘full-on happy dog’!  I’m a fun, playful guy who is quite energetic - full of excitement and joy!  I am an exuberant player and always excited to be with people.  I did calm down for my bath – only getting wiggly for my ear cleaning. If you are looking for a happy and enthusiastic friend, I am your guy! / My energy level is 5-7. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I am a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program, where I look forward to learning lots of great commands with my trainer.  I’ve already mastered the ‘sit’ command, so check back soon to see what else I have learned.  I am a bit jumpy and pull hard on my leash, so I am working on my leash skills now and should be walked by a strong, savvy walker. The volunteers are teaching me the ‘place’ command to help with my excitability during leashing. / I have good manners in my crate, though I come out of it like gangbusters, so it is not my favorite place.  I keep the volunteers on their toes. / My potty habits are pretty good, as I've had hardly any accidents on the shelter schedule.  Please continue to be consistent with me on a good schedule, so I can fully master my potty skills. • LIKES/DISLIKES:   I love people and enthusiastically seek attention from them.  Playing and being active makes me a happy guy. Treats are yummy, and I have sat nicely for them. I do everything with gusto, including eating my meals, so I use a slow feeding bowl at Mostly Mutts and should use one in my new home. / I don’t love having my ears cleaned and I would not be happy in a home where I didn’t get enough exercise and training.  Otherwise, I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love and attention. • MEDICAL:  I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I am looking for a loving home with a great family for life!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
