Storm

The sweetest dog you will ever meet! Storm loves company so be prepared for a little sidekick as she will follow you wherever you go.
She’s extremely intelligent and obeys commands well, she picks up things quickly and would do wonders with a few training classes.

She’s very energetic and looks forward to a nice long walk each day. She walks well on the lead if you walk briskly, if you stroll she tends to pull a little. If you like to jog she makes a great little running buddy and will stop and wait for you if you can’t keep up. If you tell her not to run up to other dogs or people when they approach she will listen, but will do her own thing if you don’t tell her otherwise.

She’ll never be an olympic swimmer as she’s not a fan of water. She doesn’t like being out in the rain and although she tolerates bath time, she doesn’t enjoy it.

She loves company and gets very attached to those who care for her so she won’t do great being left at home all day, she will likely sit and wait for you to return. If you’re indoors she wants to be indoors with you so won’t do well as an outdoor dog either.

Storms great with people and is the life of a party at a social function. She’s fine with other dogs, although she can get a little jealous if you pay them too much attention and will try and push in to get the attention back on her.

She’s not interested in toys at all and won’t chase a ball if you throw it. But she does pick her toys up and move them around (as well as other random household items) if she’s left alone and bored.

Storm loves her food and is definitely not a fussy eater. She like to snack on bones and will sit and chew them until there’s nothing left. She generally won’t touch people food especially when supervised, but if it looks tasty and you leave her alone with it for too long you may be down a few bites when you return.

She has a great temperament and is generally calm, although gets exited easily especially when meeting new people. She makes a great guard dog and will alert you when people are at the door. In the backyard she will run and bark at passers by, but has never growled or been aggressive.

Storm hasn’t spent much time around children in foster but would likely take well to them. She does get exited and jump on people though so will likely be too much for little ones until she’s had more training.
She also hasn’t spent any time around cats so can only guess she’d be ok with them. She has been living with a parrot in foster care and has been fine with him out of the cage.

She is toilet trained and will go outside as long as she has access to do so. She has had a couple of accidents when she’s been left inside.

She absolutely loves cuddles and will wrap her paws around you and give you the biggest bear hug. She’ll frequently pop her head up next to the couch or bed and demand a cuddle. Although she has been taught not to go on the couch during foster care I imagine she would just love to jump up there and cuddle up with you.

If you’re not just looking for a dog, but a best friend to share your life with then Storm could be the girl for you.

Storm is approximately 2 years old border collie.
