Portos

Portos is a Caucasian Shepherd, created for guarding. The enclosure in an industrial area became his home and job. But then the pandemic hit: the tenants moved out, and he was forgotten. Big and shaggy, he instilled fear in people. They were afraid to approach him. Yet, though Portos has a fearsome appearance, his heart is kind. He struggled deeply with the betrayal and longed for his unfortunate owners. Fortunately, Portos was not left to suffer from hunger and loneliness in the enclosure, and he ended up in the animal shelter.

A charming bear cub

At first, Portos barked and growled at the shelter staff. Even big dogs can become scared. Now he has settled in, and it turns out he is a good-natured boy—a bear cub with tufts on his ears. He greets familiar people warmly, wagging his tail and showing joy. With strangers, he exhibits his protective qualities. Work is work. Portos is leash trained. He needs a person with experience in handling guard dogs. Ideally, he would thrive in a private home with an enclosure.
