You gotta have a shop around that has some experience with P-cars.

First I'd insist on the car getting a frame measurement either via a Porsche-supplied frame jig or laser measurement. Fails is the basis for the arguement to total the car. Only if it passed that then second I'd ask that the bumper be examined and all the support structures behind it between the bumper cover and the chassis. I'm assuming the body of the animal hit the hood and the legs the bra but get a look under the bra and make sure everything is fine behind the bumper cover for the next time there is something in front of you.

And after the body is cosmetically OK, then it needs to go to a P-car shop for inspection of the suspension bits. My second encounter was a rear ender with no visible damage but the P-car specialist gave it to the dealer for a safety inspection after $3k+ in bumper cover and behind the bumper repairs.

I've seen worse and they stopped counting on mine in the mid-20k range.
