Biography
Porter is a 3-year-old neutered male beagle/corgi/pit mix. He weighs about 30 pounds. He needs a new home because he is uncomfortable around the family’s toddler; he tends to leave the room when she gets active. He has a lot going for him:
He is fully crate-trained; he sleeps overnight in a crate.
He is easily trainable – eager to participate & strongly food-motivated. He knows several behaviors, including a few tricks and some agility.
He loves going for walks or jogs.
He enjoys playing fetch and can easily settle down after the game is over.
He is comfortable with unfamiliar people, if given a bit of time and space to warm up to
them.
He plays well with the family’s Golden retriever. And he’s played well with several other dogs, yet is likely too intense for most puppies.
He lives with a cat, without issue.
He is fully potty-trained.
Special requirements:
Porter needs a home without children under the age of 8.
Porter has learned to climb the family’s 5’-tall cedar fence, and in one instance, did so to chase and nip a skateboarder in front of the house. The injury was minor and the fence height was raised yet Porter again managed to climb out. He will need a securely fenced yard, although a yard isn't necessary for him; he just needs regular exercise.
