Portia is an adorable, lively 6 month old GSD girl puppy who was sick with an upper respiratory infection, and running out of time at a crowded shelter. Luckily, we were able to spring Portia out before it was too late. With antibiotics, good nutrition, and TLC in her foster home, she quickly started improving. She is now all better, and thriving in her foster home. Portia has blossomed into a healthy, stunning, vivacious puppy, who will be the delight of a very lucky adopter!
Portia is a typical GSD puppy: very sweet and smart, and a little bit stubborn and sassy at times! Portia loves to be loved on by humans, and also loves other dogs. We would love for Portia to have at least one doggy playmate in her adoptive home, as she has a fair amount of energy, and really enjoys playing with other dogs. Portia is independent and also likes to enjoy some alone time while sleeping on an air vent. Portia loves antlers, balls, and rope toys. She’s potty-trained and crate-trained. She’s good on a leash and really likes walks. Portia loves meeting new people. She’s friendly and very playful. And in typical GSD fashion, she likes to be affectionate... on her own terms! This adorable girl will need an active, experienced owner who will continue to work on her socialization and training.
Portia's ideal home would be an active household with prior GSD experience, and a playful dog buddy. While adorable, GSD puppies require patience, structure, positive reinforcement, and redirection to channel their energy in appropriate ways. Like all German Shepherd puppies, Portia will need training, consistency, boundaries, and lots of activity and socialization. Portia's adoption fee is $425, all of which goes back into offsetting our high-cost vetting expenses and rescuing more dogs. Adoption fees include spay/neuter, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, fecal, deworming, flea/tick and heartworm preventative, heartworm tested if old enough (treated if positive), and microchipped.

Why are Sponsorships & Donations so important?
HUGS provides dog food, supplies, necessary vet care (emergency, acute, routine), heartworm and flea/tick preventative to the HUGS foster dogs while they look for their forever homes. This can be quite costly and challenging in many ways. Additionally, some of the dogs that we rescue arrive sick or injured and require hospitalization, expensive surgery or long-term medications or other treatment. This places a huge strain on our vet fund, and can affect our ability to help future dogs.
Sadly, without sufficient funding to transport, vet/treat, feed the dogs that we take in, we could not continue saving them. As a volunteer group that runs solely on donations and adoptions fees, we truly need your support.
