In the shelter’s words

Meet Porto, The Clever, Charismatic Crew Leader DOB: September 2024Weight: 14lbsDisposition: Friendly, outgoing, confident ​Say hello to Porto, a dashing 2-year-old Maltipoo with a brilliant mind, a heart full of affection, and just the right amount of superstar confidence! Porto boasts a soft, white, silky coat with gorgeous loose waves. Beyond his stunning looks, he’s a bright, engaging pup who loves to interact, play, and learn.​Personality & Social Style​The Natural Leader: Porto is friendly and gets along great with other dogs, though he definitely has an opinionated, natural "boss" energy! He likes to take charge in doggy group dynamics, making him a great fit for dogs who are happy to let someone else be in the driver's seat.​Playful & Social: He plays wonderfully with his foster pals and brings a fun, upbeat energy to play sessions.​Smart & Responsive: Porto listens remarkably well to direction from his humans. His focus and responsiveness show he’s a fast learner who will thrive with ongoing training and fun trick learning.​Coat & Care​Non-Shedding & Silky: Porto has a gorgeous, low-dander, non-shedding coat that keeps your home fur-free.​Grooming Needs: To keep those silky waves soft, clean, and tangle-free, Porto will need regular brushing at home alongside routine visits to a professional groomer.​Ideal Home​Porto would do best in a home that appreciates a dog with a little personality and poise! He’ll excel with an adopter who enjoys engaging his smart brain through training and play. Whether he’s living as an pampered only dog or alongside a submissive, easygoing doggy companion who doesn't mind letting Porto take the lead, this clever boy is ready to steal the show.​Ready to welcome this handsome, clever boy into your life?
