We adopted Porsche, a female Labrador Retriever mix from Austin Animal Center in February 2023. Her training was delayed while we treated her for ringworm for 8 weeks. Since leaving quarantine, she’s aced her lessons and made fast Fido friends with the other dogs in our program.
Porsche loves to fetch. She sometimes deals out a plot twist by dropping her toys in the baby pool. Porsche's keen awareness of her surroundings and smaller size make her a promising Hearing Dog candidate.
