My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Foodies know that delicious porcini mushrooms are prized for their savory umami flavor and ability to add a little extra “wow!” to many a dish. Our Porcini is known for being a brave pup who has undergone his own wonderful transformation and will surely make you say “wow!”

Porcini is a very special pup who has grown leaps and bounds since coming into the shelter! He has gone from a scaredy pup to the biggest kissy wigglebutt you’ll meet! Porcini’s volunteer friends are so proud of him and have shared the following:

“I had Porcini out in a play yard this morning- this pup is so sweet! He was super easy to leash up in his kennel, all wiggle butt and kisses. Once in the yard he loved playing with his kennel mate and checking in for snuggles and kisses. This pup is perfection!”

While Porcini can be shy when meeting people and pups initially, with a little time and a lotta love, this guy just blooms (not unlike his fungal namesake). He gets along great with his kennelmate and absolutely vibrates with happiness when he sees his volunteer friends. He’s also been playful and social when meeting other PACC pups in playgroup. If you’ve got room in your heart and home for a spectacular dog, come meet Porcini today!
