The Glow-Up

Three months before their baby was born, Mandi and her partner welcomed Portia home. That timing? Pure fate. Portia fit in instantly, like she’d been waiting her whole life for this family (and possibly also for snacks and a comfy couch).

We first met Portia at the 2024 Mutt Market fundraiser for the Jacksonville Humane Society, where she absolutely rocked her headshot session like a total pro. One click of the shutter and boom—cover girl energy.

Now she’s a radiant, ridiculously lovable pup living her best life—with a tiny human sidekick and a crew who completely adores her. She's confident, cuddly, and proof that the best dogs often come from the unlikeliest places... like under a truck.

What Makes Portia Unforgettable

Portia isn’t just a rescue. She’s a reminder. A reminder that there are amazing dogs out there just waiting to be found—and that sometimes, you don’t just adopt a dog… you adopt joy.

From a roadside rescue to a life full of love, snuggles, and baby giggles, Portia brings a gentle strength to every room she enters. And that face? Unforgettable.
