My story

Who wants to adopt or foster a sweet girl?! Portia, a beautiful 2-year-old female dog, was discovered as a stray and brought to a shelter where she faced extreme stress. Just hours away from being euthanized, Happy Tails tagged her and a compassionate foster stepped in to save her life. Portia embodies the perfect combination of intelligence, tranquility, and companionship. She is built like an athletic and would be a perfect jogging, dock diving, or hiking partner. She has learned several commands and is a joy to walk on a leash. Her calm demeanor extends to car rides, where she behaves wonderfully, and her love for treats makes training sessions enjoyable and effective. While she interacts well with other calm dogs, she tends to shy away from overly energetic or pushy playmates. Portia has also shown a gentle disposition around children, making her an ideal companion for families with respectful kids who can appreciate her sweet nature. This lovely girl is ready to find her forever home, where she can thrive in a loving environment. She can not live with cats however. If you're interested in adopting or fostering Portia, contact Happy Tails or message us on Facebook! 815-626-2994

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Portia, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
