Meet Porridge
Porridge is a senior 60-pound Golden Retriever mix who is currently in foster in South Austin. Porridge is a low-energy, low-maintenance, relaxed kind of guy. He would do best as an only pet, but he has coexisted with cats for short stints and he does great ignoring other dogs on his walks! He's just there for the walkies and the new smells.
He's not a clinger at all. He's happy just hanging out in the house, and will come to you when he's ready for affection and pets. Porridge loves to explore new places and sniff all around.
In a past outing walking with a smaller dog he did really great. He's a really nice easygoing sidekick. Like many dogs, Porridge would not do great with small children, as he needs people to respect his space. Porridge loves treats and does a very adorable "sit" and "paw" for them. He has some unfortunate notes from times when he was under extreme stress, including during the snow-pocolypse of 2021.
He needs an adults-only home. He likes everyone but has some touch sensitivity, and kids may not remember to be careful about that. He doesn't love being crated, but he is non-destructive when left out and settles into routines quickly. He hasn't tried stealing food even when it's right at his face height.
Porridge is available in the Austin, Texas area and is ready for a home of his own!
**We are no longer placing dogs for adoption in apartments. Adopters must have a fenced backyard.**
