Portia is a very sweet but rather shy girl especially with males, though as she has been at the rescue since a very young puppy with no bad experiences of men this is unexplained. Once she trusts you she is an affectionate girl who mixes well with all the other dogs, both big and small. She will need a very calm and patient home so that she is given the time to trust - but it will be so worth it as she is very loyal and cuddly.
