Porter is a little guy with a big personality. He is friendly with strangers and great with kids. His foster mom thinks he would be best in a home with children over 8 due to his energy levels.  Porter is very good with his furry foster sibling and loves to run and play in the yard.  Porter rarely jumps on people, and only gets on the furniture if given permission. Porter is very good in his crate, he goes in when asked and rarely barks. Porter knows the commands "sit", "down", "paw", and is learning the commands "free", "off", and "heal". He is doing well with potty training. Porter is good on his leash and learning more with every walk. He is an intelligent dog that learns easily and quickly. He is a fun and happy dog that loves to play outside and run off some energy. He will chase balls, go for long walks, and run around with you as long as you can keep up with him. But he also loves to curl up and snuggle with his foster family. He has a sweet personality, loves to be with his people, and can always make you smile.
