https://forms.gle/AUvpJHMYDs3uBqYN7

NOTE: You are unable to meet Stormy until/unless you have been notified that you are a successful applicant. An adoption cannot be approved unless you are able to come to the shelter to meet Stormy in person and bring any dogs you currently have with you.

What I need in my new home:

*GIANT BREED KNOWLEDGE IS PREFERRED
*Daily walks, trips to the park or beach, playtime in the backyard
*Further training with basic doggie manners
*To be allowed inside with my family
*A doggie playmate would be great, if not then lots of socialising with other dogs
*A cat may be ok with a slow introduction.
*I like both friendly male and female dogs
*Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent)
*Lots of toys and mental stimulation
*A diet of good quality giant breed dry food to help keep my teeth clean and bones healthy
*Lots of love and attention
*Short regular walks, trips to the park or beach, playtime in the backyard
*No young children as when I'm excited I get very bouncy and mouthy, older children who will be involved with my training should be ok.
*Being a social and playful pupper I would love to go to doggy daycare
*I can be shy at first so I need a family who’ll allow me to grow in confidence in my own time
*I have lots of energy so an active family is a must
*I LOVE other dogs but I’m a very energetic and playful dog, so I need a doggy playmate who will match my energy levels and playfulness.
*TRAINING TRAINING TRAINING. It's ESSENTIAL I receive training in all aspects of my life so I can be the best dog I can be when I'm older.
*Large breed experience is a MUST, I am going to be big when full grown!!
*Being a young puppy I will adapt & learn easily, how I mature will only be a reflection of you & my upbringing

Things that I don’t want in my new home:

*To be left alone in the backyard without any interaction
*Not to be allowed inside with my family
*Never to go on a walk or rides in the car
*Small children due to being mouthy & bouncy

My best features:

*Very playful
*Wiggle butt
*Highly food motivated
*I can sit, shake hands
*I have had some basic obedience training and am a generally well-mannered dog
*I love attention and having snuggles with my humans
*I know my basic doggie commands
*I walk well on lead
*Happy to hang out with other friendly dogs
*Social butterfly
*I am clever and eager to learn so would love a family who will teach me some cool tricks.
*I appear housetrained
*I LOVE toys, playing fetch
*I love attention, hugs, kisses & head scratches
*Love to snooze on the couch
*I walk well on lead for a young doggo but having daily walks should help me improve my lead skills
*Exuberant & full of beans

Where I need to improve / Training required

*I am shy at first with new people and in new environments so will require a family who will take their time allowing me to settle in and continue on with my socialization
*I love my food & toys so using them as a positive reward should make my training easier.
*I need further training on my recall as I can ignore you if you're trying to call me back to you
*I can be a bit bouncy -training should stop this
*I've only just learnt to walk on the lead since being at the shelter so I'm still a bit erratic but lots of walks will help me learn how to be great on the lead.
*I walk well on lead, unless I want to go in another direction, then I tend to pull harder
