Porter is one of our longest term residents. He walks very well on a leash and is very treat motivated. He is also one of our dogs that really needs the right home with the right person. He has the potential to be a wonderful and loving dog  but it will take time for him to form a bond with someone and trust them enough to feel comfortable because he one of our most human-fearful dogs.  He is protective of his space but with the right person and motivations he could be easily trained.  Porter will do best as the only pet in a home so that his adopter can give him all the time and attention he needs to adjust. He will not be a dog that can be taken out in public with large crowds. Introducing him to new people will have to be taken very slowly. Overall Porter needs an experienced dog handler who is willing to meet with him multiple times and work with him through his fearful behaviors.
