Hello there.  My name is Portia and I’m a mature, big-hearted gal (literally and figuratively) with a whole lot of love to give.

Here’s what you need to know about me:  I’m past all that puppy chaos.  You won’t find me chewing your shoes or having accidents on your rug.  I am fully crate trained and housetrained, and once we’ve had our morning walk and breakfast, I am very happy to settle down quietly and just… be with you.  I’m calm, quiet, and I don’t make a fuss.

My absolute favorite things are our walks (I’m a lovely walking partner—no incessant pulling or dramatics, just a pleasant stroll) and the treats you give me for my good behaviour.  I am very attuned to my people.  I’ll check in with you on our walks, and I’ll curl up nearby when you’re reading or watching TV.  I just want to be your loyal companion.

Now, I need to be honest with you about a few things, because a good relationship starts with trust.  I want to be your only pet.  I do not like other dogs, cats, or any small furry creatures.  And while I’m sweet and affectionate with adults, a home with children is not for me.  I will thrive in a calm, predictable home where I can relax and know I’m safe.

I know that might sound like a lot, but here’s what it means for the right person: you get all of me.  No competition, no chaos.  Just a steady, loving, gentle giant who thinks you hung the moon.

If you’re a single person or a couple without other pets or kids, and you’re looking for a low-to-moderate energy walking buddy who will be your devoted shadow, I think we could be a perfect match.

Could you be my fresh start?
