Stormey is a sweet and sensitive girl who’s still figuring out the world – but she’s doing it with a wagging tail and a ball in her mouth! She recently met a new doggy friend, Claire, and did great with a slow intro. After a polite sniff, she was off to explore and play, showing us that with a little time and space, she can make furry friendships.
Stormey loves a good game of chase (we’re still working on the bring it back part of fetch!), and while treats aren’t always her thing when she’s feeling unsure, toys are a solid substitute. She’s shown a real interest in playing in the park and enjoys zooming after balls and rope toys – though she might need a watchful eye when it comes to chewing!
On walks, she’s eager to get where she’s going, especially if it involves a park. She’s got a good foundation for loose-leash walking (LLW), especially when fitted with her harness, which she’s learning to be more comfortable with. Stormey can get a bit focused when she sees other dogs, especially larger ones, but she’s shown progress: no barking, lunging, or growling – just some quiet curiosity and watchful eyes. She’s still building confidence, and with the right support, she’ll keep making strides.
Stormey would do best with a patient adopter who’s willing to go at her pace, continue her training, and help her feel safe as she continues to grow. She’s got a gentle spirit, a playful side, and a whole lot of potential.
If you’ve got some tennis balls and a big heart, Stormey might just be your perfect match.
