*Portia is temporarily living in a foster home until they find their family. If you would like to meet Portia, we recommend scheduling an appointment with one of our Adoptions Specialists, so we can ensure they are here to meet you when you arrive. Please click “Adopt Portia” to complete an interest survey and one of our Adoptions Specialists will connect with you to set up an appointment!* Meet Portia, a beautiful older German Shepherd mix with a gentle soul and a thoughtful, sensitive nature. She walks nicely on leash and enjoys getting out for calm, steady strolls where she can take in the world at her own pace. Portia can be a bit nervous in new situations, so she’s looking for a patient, understanding home that will give her the time and reassurance she needs to feel safe. Once she does, her sweet personality shines — especially when treats are involved! She’s highly food-motivated and happily accepts snacks as tokens of love and encouragement. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will reward patience with trust and quiet affection, Portia would love the chance to meet you. Visit the Best Friends Lifesaving Center in Salt Lake City or email utahadoptions@bestfriends.org to meet her.

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.
