Porky's Story
Age: 6 Years Old<br/>Weight: 80lbs.<br/>Good with dogs: Yes<br/>Good with cats: No<br/>Good with kids: Yes - Older due to size<br/>Energy Level: Med<br/><br/>Available for Adoption: 5/30/2026- Applications need to be approved before a meet and greet will be set up for any Fetching Hearts Rescue dogs.<br/><br/>Hi, I’m Porky… yes, that Porky 🐷💛<br/><br/>Let me tell you a little about myself—I showed up in a Tennessee shelter as a stray and, believe it or not, nobody ever came looking for this handsome hamhead. Can you believe it?! Their loss, because I am pure joy on four paws.<br/><br/>I’ve got a couple of scars, sure… but they don’t slow me down one bit. They just add to my rugged good looks. Underneath it all? A gigantic, squishy, love-filled heart that’s probably just as big as my head (which, okay… is saying something 😂).<br/><br/>I’m what you’d call a professional tail wagger. Seriously—it just doesn’t stop! Add in my goofy grin, and you’ve got yourself a full-time happiness machine. I LOVE my toys (squeaky ones are my favorite… just saying) and playing fetch with my people is basically my dream job.<br/><br/>I’d really love a fenced yard where I can zoom around, stretch my legs, and show off my signature Porky zoomies. And walks? Oh yes, please! I’m always ready to stroll the neighborhood and say hi to everyone I meet—future friends everywhere!<br/><br/>Now listen… I know I’m a black bully breed, and sometimes that makes people pause. But don’t let that fool you—I am the biggest mush face EVER. Like, certified softie. I’m all about love, cuddles, goofiness, and making my humans smile.<br/><br/>At the end of the day, I’m just a silly, sweet boy who wants a forever family to laugh with, play with, and love with my whole big ol’ heart.<br/><br/>So… what do you think? Ready for a little extra joy, slobbery kisses, and nonstop tail wags in your life?
