Porto (lovingly known as Boo) is a 5-year-old miniature schnauzer with the sweetest, most gentle soul. His early life is a bit of a mystery, but we do know he came from a breeding situation and has been through more than any dog ever should. Despite being previously devocalized, Porto still finds his voice in the form of soft, endearing howls that make him all the more special. Porto is a shy little guy who startles easily, so he’ll need a patient, understanding home where he can feel safe and move at his own pace. Because of this, he would do best in a calm, adult-only environment and will need careful handling as he can be a flight risk if frightened. A fully enclosed fenced yard is a must for his safety. The beautiful part? Porto is starting to discover the joys of being a dog. He’s learning about toys, enjoying bully sticks, and quietly taking in the world around him. He gets along wonderfully with cats and would likely thrive with a gentle, friendly dog or feline companion to help guide him and build his confidence. With time, love, and a peaceful home, Porto has so much potential to blossom into the most loyal and tender little companion.
