DESCRIPTION
Meet Stormi, a beautiful 3-year-old German Shepherd/Husky mix with a heart as big as her adventurous spirit! Weighing 65 pounds, this smart, affectionate girl is looking for a home where she can be your loyal companion through everyday life and exciting outdoor adventures.
Stormi is fully house trained and crate trained, happily sleeps in her crate, and even knows the command "kennel." She has settled into her foster home with great house manners and has had no accidents. While she may let out a little whine for a minute or two when first crated, she settles quickly and relaxes until her people return.
If you're looking for a walking or hiking buddy, Stormi is ready to lace up her imaginary hiking boots! She loves long walks, spending time outdoors, and occasionally playing a game of fetch. After she's had a chance to burn off some energy, she's more than happy to relax by your side for cuddles. She's also wonderfully affectionate with people of all ages and has done great with children.
Stormi has plenty of personality, too. Like many Huskies, she enjoys "talking" with her people and will happily chat with you throughout the day. She's curious, silly, and keeps her foster family smiling. When it comes to treats, she's a bit of a connoisseur, but dried pig ears are always a favorite!
Stormi is social and friendly with people and gets excited when she sees other dogs because she wants to play. She is still learning how to appropriately interact with other dogs, so her excitement can sometimes come across in ways they may not appreciate. She will need an adopter who is committed to helping her continue building positive social skills through training and guidance. A meet and greet with any resident dog is recommended to make sure everyone is a good match. Her compatibility with cats is unknown.
Because Stormi is a high energy, working breed mix, she'll thrive with an active family who enjoys getting outside. A securely fenced yard is a bonus for safe playtime, though she also enjoys exploring the world on leash and hasn't shown interest in wandering away from her foster home.
Stormi is a loving, loyal companion who is ready to share her adventures, conversations, and cuddles with a family of her own. If you're searching for an affectionate best friend who will happily join you on the trail and then curl up beside you at the end of the day, Stormi may be the perfect match!

Adoption fees INCLUDE a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%.

ABOUT: GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG DOG BREED
The German Shepherd Dog, known for its intelligence, loyalty, and versatility, is a popular and highly regarded breed worldwide. This breed excels in various roles such as police work, search and rescue, and assistance for individuals with disabilities. German Shepherd Dogs are strong, agile, and confident with a distinctive double coat that can be straight or wavy. Their character is marked by courage, loyalty, and a strong work ethic, making them ideal companions and protectors for families and professionals alike.
The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
