Stormy is a 3 year old mixed breed from Louisiana (LA). She was on the euthanasia list and pulled hours before she was to be put down. Stormy was a part of a hoarding case that was brought into the shelter along with Taz and Luna (adopted). She is not bonded with any of the dogs and can be the only dog in the house. Stormy has been in Wisconsin since September 20th.
Stormy is a goofy girl and will have you laughing all the time. Stormy loves to carry around a toy, pull back her neck while she walks and wiggles her whole body. She loves to lay on the back of the couch to take a nap like a cat. If she falls in between the cushion and the back of the couch she’s just as comfy there. She is currently fostered with three other foster dogs and the resident dog of the house.
Energy Level:
Stormy is a medium energy level dog. She will happily go on a 1.25 mile walk in the evening. She’ll also play with the high energy foster brothers for a bit at a time but prefers carrying around a toy. She is a dog that can take a day off from walking and not be unmanageable. She does not require multiple hours of exercise a night. Stormy can be a bit nervous in busy situations so a busy downtown neighborhood would not be ideal for her.
Training:
Stormy has no interest in learning any commands with the other dogs. She’ll come over and check out what we are doing but then happily wiggle away with a toy in her mouth. She comes when her name is called. She may just need a less busy household to focus on learning commands. She is food motivated, but just loves carrying a toy more.
Stormy does pull a bit on the leash when we go on walks (we walk as a pack). When she first got here she was very nervous to go on a walk. Now she is one of the leaders in the pack. She still does get nervous when she hears something she’s unfamiliar with but what that looks like is her “putting on the brakes” to figure out what it is. She will pull a bit to go sniff something but she has not done any lunging on the leash and she does not react to other dogs.
Crate Training:
Stormy easily goes in a kennel without any fuss. She will either kennel up with her foster sister or by herself.
Potty Training:
Stormy is working on potty training.
Grooming:
Stormy is a short haired dog whose fur is similar to a lab.
Dogs:
Stormy does well with other dogs and will play with them but not for hours on end. She loves everyone in the household and has loved everyone she’s met on a walk. She may be a little standoffish at first but quickly learns that the dog is ok and will try to play. Stormy is ok if another dog pushes her out of the way and is not aggressive.
Cats:
Stormy lives with 2 cats. She’s curious about the cats and will chase them to play if the other dogs are in on the fun. She’s not obsessed with cats and does not try to hurt them.
Kids:
Stormy is a little standoffish at first but then went up to the kids to say hi once more confident dogs in the pack did so. She has met teenagers and pre-teens and did ok with both.
Car Rides:
Stormy does ok in the car and needs more practice. She does not panic, drool, bark or destroy anything in the car.
This girl is so sweet and will have you constantly laughing. She loves life just as much as her stuffed toys. She loves snuggling up to you and giving hugs.
