Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Portero, the lovable goofball with a heart full of joy! This sweet pup thrives in his crate, treating it like his personal nap zone, and sleeps soundly through the night. He's been doing great with house training, with only a few accidents as he learns the ropes. Portero loves to explore the yard on a leash, taking in all the sights and sounds like every walk is a grand adventure!
This playful pup is a cuddler at heart who truly believes that every stranger is just a friend he hasn't met yet. Portero's silly personality shines through as he jumps off things just for the fun of it, and you might find him nestled in bushes for a cozy nap or digging in the cool dirt. He's gentle and a little derpy, which only adds to his charm!
Portero is eager to learn, already picking up commands like "sit and "come, and he adores playing with his siblings. With his wagging tail and easygoing nature, Portero would fit seamlessly into just about any home. If you're looking for a playful, affectionate companion who brings endless smiles and laughter, Portero is your guy! Adopt him today and let the adventures begin!
