Meet Stormie!

Some puppies just have a way of making you smile... and Stormie is definitely one of them.

At just 4 months old, this beautiful girl is full of life, curiosity, and just the right amount of puppy mischief. If there's an adventure to be had, a toy to investigate, or a zoomie session to start, Stormie is ready. And yes, she'll absolutely find herself in a little puppy shenanigan or two if you leave her to her own devices. That's just part of the fun of raising a puppy!

Stormie's story started with heartbreak. Her owner loved her very much but was facing homelessness and made the incredibly difficult decision to surrender her so she'd have the chance at the stable, happy life every puppy deserves.

Since joining one of our foster homes, Stormie has been soaking up everything puppyhood should be. She loves wrestling with her foster brother, playing until she's completely worn out, and then crashing for a well-earned nap and cuddle session. She's discovering what it's like to be part of a family, and she absolutely loves it. That's exactly what we're hoping to find for her... a family.

Stormie isn't looking to be a dog who's left home alone all day. She wants to be involved in your life, whether that's hanging out in the backyard, joining you on adventures, playing with another dog, or curling up nearby after a busy day. If everyone is gone 10 hours a day and she doesn't have a canine buddy to keep her company, she probably isn't the right fit.

Like every puppy her age, Stormie is still learning the ropes. She's doing well with potty training and making great progress. She'll need a patient family willing to continue teaching her good manners, provide plenty of exercise and enrichment, and remember that puppies don't magically know the rules... they need loving guidance and consistency. The investment is worth every bit of effort.

Stormie has already lost one home through no fault of her own. This time, we're looking for forever. If you're ready for muddy paws, puppy kisses, endless laughter, and the joy of watching an amazing little dog blossom, Stormie is ready to meet you.

Our transports run every 2-3 weeks to that location.) We cannot adopt to Rhode Island due to import restrictions.

VETTING:

All of our dogs are cleared by a licensed veterinarian for transport and arrive to their adopters spayed/neutered with age-appropriate vaccines completed and are microchipped. Note: We cannot guarantee breed mix. It is a guess based on physical characteristics and any known history.
