Porky Shepherd Mix Scranton, PA

Porky, and his brother Blackie,, were recently rescued from a high kill shelter after being surrendered by their owner. The previous owner had taken ill and was no longer able to care for the number of dogs in the home. We are told that Porky had three siblings in his former home. He was very nervous when he first arrived at the shelter but is slowly learning to trust and is starting to come out of his shell. We are sure that transport will set him back a bit so a patient owner who is used to dealing with shy, timid dogs would be perfect for this little guy. A home with other small-to-medium sized dogs would also help with Porky's confidence building. We are unsure as to how Porky would be in a home with children or cats. But, our guess would be that younger children may be too loud and unpredictable for this timid fellow. Porky and Blackie are listed as Shepherd?? mixes and that is what they truly look like. Although it seems highly unlikely for a Shepherd mix to weigh 22 lbs. Only a DNA test will accurately determine the true breed make-up of these little ones. Porky is about a year and a half old. He has already been neutered and he is up-to-date with his vaccinations. Porky very recently tested negative for heart-worm disease and he is on preventatives. He is also micro-chipped. Porky and Blackie will be arriving on transport on Sunday, Oct. 25th and we are taking applications for them now. You can complete an adoption, or foster, application on our website at www.OneLifeToLiveRescue.com.. A rescue volunteer will then be in touch with you very soon to answer any questions that you might have and to tell you about our ever popular "Foster-to-Adopt" program. Porky's recommended adoption donation is $325 to help with the cost of vet bills. Thank you for your consideration of giving a "forever" home to a wonderful, rescued, little mixed-breed guy who needs some time to settle in.
