Meet Portia
Advertisement
Hello there. My name is Portia and I’m a mature, big-hearted gal — literally and figuratively — with a whole lot of love to give.
Here’s what you need to know about me: You won’t find me chewing your shoes or having accidents on your rug. I am fully crate and housetrained, and once we’ve had our morning walk and breakfast, I am very happy to settle down quietly and just… be with you. I’m calm, quiet, and I don’t make a fuss.
By the way, my absolute favorite things are our walks! I am very attuned to my people. However, I do pull a bit so we will need more practice together. I am very responsive to treats, though, which is super motivating. I’ll check in with you on our walks, and I’ll curl up nearby when you’re reading or watching TV. I just want to be your loyal companion.

Portia is a mature, big-hearted gal who would be just right for a single person or a couple without other pets or kids.
However, I would like to be your only pet, as I do not like other dogs, cats, or any small furry creatures. And while I’m sweet and affectionate with adults, a home with children is not for me. I will thrive in a calm, predictable home where I can relax and know I’m safe.
I know that might sound like a lot, but here’s what it means for the right person: you get all of me. No competition, no chaos. Just a steady, loving, gentle giant who thinks you hung the moon.
If you’re a single person or a couple without other pets or kids, and you’re looking for a low-to-moderate energy walking buddy who will be your devoted shadow, I think we could be a perfect match.
