About this Dog
Dog Day Out, 8/26/24:Porthos is an absolute joy. He is completely housebroken, well behaved, and follows simple commands with hand gestures. He is super gentle in all respects and is very careful when taking treats (which he loves). He likes being close to people and will stay at your side to be petted for extended periods. He is a perfect companion for a quite, low energy household. I absolutely love spending time with him.Dog Day Out, 7/19/24:We started our adventure by taking a car ride out in the country. Porthos is so well-behaved in the car! We made a stop for Cheetos (a little bird told us that they are his favorite treat,) and then we headed to Great Bend Park for a trail walk. Porthos was very well-mannered during our outing, walking well on a leash and eager to accept being petted by children we met. After our hike, we paid a visit to our home, where Porthos explored the yard and gots lots of attention. This is an unbelievably sweet, calm, and quiet dog - someone is going to be incredibly lucky to adopt him! I would describe him as a perfect gentleman. Volunteer notes, 7/9/24:Porthos is very obedient. Knows come and sit with hand gestures (he is very hard of hearing). He is treat motivated, and follows you closely when walking. Good on the leash! Porthos is a sweetheart and he loves being petted. He's a large older dog and doesn't have a lot of energy which is great for a lot of homes. He's friendly, likes affection, but is content to lay at your feet.Short-term foster notes, 4/30/24:Porthos is a sweet, gentle, quirky old man. He is potty trained and will whine at the door when he needs to go out. He rides so well in the car and walks well on a leash. He does react to small animals like squirrels and cats who catch his gaze, so he can be brisk but a gentle tug in the right direction is usually enough to direct him back. Porthos loves soft treats and a welcoming couch. One of his favorites in our home was our water fountain, he loved it!! This unique man requires special care from a patient person who will dedicate time and have patience towards how his past life impacts his ânowâ. Loud noises startle him, though he is hard of hearing. We know he is a kind soul. He takes treats easily and kindly; heâs missing a bit of teeth so it helps to push food in the back of his mouth! He loves chips, chicken. He thoroughly enjoys tummy rubs and rolls when heâs excited!! We loved Porthos and wish he got along with cats because he is the BEST boy! He passes gas that could out-do grown men and we were grateful for every minute of it! We hope someone will love this handsome boy for the rest of his days. Volutneer notes, 4/24/24:Quiet, dignified Porthos has stolen our hearts! We cannot possibly pass by his kennel without taking him out. He has beautiful leash manners and also does well off leash in the play yard. Mostly he wants to take treats very gently, and snuggle with his people. He is fastidious about his bathroom business--clearly house trained. Porthos seems like he's just waiting for a home with a soft couch and an attentive, loving human.Volunteer notes, 4/18/24:Porthos is so distinguished and dignified! He walked beautifully on the leash and was extremely friendly and gentle. He roamed around the play yard to do his business but mostly wanted to sit with us and accept pets. His coat is so soft. He begged for treats using only his eyes and a casual glance at the treat bag; he is so smart and communicative. His only quirk was that he was anxious about being returned to his kennel.Foster notes:3/31/24 - I am fostering this distinguished older gentleman named Porthos, who I call Buddy. He is around 7 years old and weighs about 80 pounds. He may be deaf or hard of hearing as he only reacts to loud sounds. He is one of the sweetest dogs I have ever known and for being such a big boy he is so gentle. If you are looking for a good companion to share your space on the couch this fellow definitely fits the bill. He is house trained and laid back, no food aggression, good with strangers and he seems very quiet. He will make someone a perfect companion. If you are interested in adopting Porthos please contact me or the Burlington Animal Shelter for a meet and greet.

Adopt PORTHOS and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, PORTHOS's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is PORTHOS's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the PORTHOS, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming PORTHOS's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and PORTHOS was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, PORTHOS’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the PORTHOS’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, PORTHOS’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
