About Porter

Meet Porter, a handsome, happy-go-lucky guy who is guaranteed to make you smile every single day! At nearly a year old and a gorgeous 90 pounds, Porter is the definition of a big goofball: always happy, forever silly, and absolutely full of love. He's a ball-fetching superstar who loves yard play and is a fantastic companion for other dogs, making him a perfect playmate or pack addition. Porter is social, loves everyone he meets, and walks beautifully on a leash.

Ideal Home

Porter would thrive in a home that can appreciate his goofy, playful, and loving nature.

Ongoing Health

Porter is microchipped, neutered, and up to date on all vaccinations. He is current on flea and tick prevention. Porter also received his Pro-Heart 12 shot, meaning he will not need any other heartworm preventative until June 2027.

Training & Support

Porter walks beautifully on a leash and enjoys yard play.
