Portia is a 9-year-old sweetheart who clearly didn’t get the memo about “acting her age.” The second the leash or treats come out, she lights up with youthful excitement—but most of the time, this lovely girl is happiest right by her people, cuddled on the couch or supervising your yoga routine (her downward dog form is elite). On walks, she gets very excited about seeing other dogs and will need help building confidence to help her stay calm and assured. Toys aren’t really her thing unless food is involved, but a stuffed Kong? Now that’s her love language. A calm environment and patient guidance will help her continue to build confidence as she heals and settles in. If you’re looking for a devoted, snuggly companion with a little pep in her step and a whole lot of heart, Portia is ready to be your loyal sidekick.

About Best Friends Animal Society

Best Friends is working to end the killing of dogs and cats in U.S. shelters in part by getting more pets out of shelters and into loving homes.

We’ve come a long way since the first known city reached no-kill in 1994, and now we’re closer than ever to making the entire country no-kill. Of the roughly 3,900 shelters operating in America today, 1,300 of them are not yet no-kill, but nearly half are close with 100 or fewer additional pets to be saved, and we know what to do to get them there.

Best Friends is committed to working with passionate people like you to save homeless pets through adoption, volunteering, fostering, and advocacy. In addition to our lifesaving centers around the U.S, we also founded and run the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals.

Working together, we can save homeless pets in our communities and secure a better future for our best friends. Together, we will bring the whole country to no-kill.
