Stormy

🐾 Meet Stormy – A Sensitive Girl Looking for a Temporary Foster Home 🐾

Stormy is a 1.5-year-old female dog who is currently looking for a calm, understanding temporary foster home. She is a lovely balance of calm indoors and energetic outdoors, and in the right environment she is a truly wonderful dog.

🏡 At home, Stormy is a dream:
Fully house-trained
Very calm and relaxed indoors
Can stay home alone without issues
Does not destroy things
Sleeps voluntarily in her crate
Greets visitors in a friendly manner
Eats calmly, no food aggression
Enjoys car rides
Knows basic commands such as sit, down, look
Can live with other dogs

🚫 Important: Stormy is not suitable for homes with cats.

🌿 Points of attention (important for foster families):
Stormy can become stressed during walks or high-arousal moments such as play. When overstimulated, she may show redirected behavior like jumping up and nipping at arms or legs. This is not aggression, but a stress response and difficulty regulating excitement. Because she is strong, this can sometimes result in bruising.

A professional trainer has advised muzzle training as a supportive tool to prevent this behavior from becoming self-rewarding and to help Stormy learn calmer coping strategies.

🏡 What kind of foster home are we looking for?
Calm, structured, child-free household
Experience with dogs is strongly preferred
Willing to follow guidance from trainers
Able to provide consistency, patience, and clear routines

Stormy is a sensitive and intelligent dog who needs a safe, predictable environment to decompress and continue her training journey. With the right foster support, she can make great progress and move one step closer to her forever home.

💛 By fostering Stormy, you will be making a huge difference in her life.
If you can offer her temporary safety, structure, and understanding, Stormy will reward you with loyalty, calm companionship, and a deep bond.
