Storm's requirements:

  • Adults/teens

  • Small dogs only

  • Securely fenced yard

Storm is likely a Chihuahua/Terrier mix, he's around 4 years old and about 12 lbs. He's neutered, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines and monthly preventatives. He's a charming brown and white fellow with heterochromia, which means his eyes are different colors, one blue eye and one brown eye.


Storm is an energetic and vocal boy who loves attention, naps, and destroying toys. Once you get to know each other, he becomes a playful, sweet boy who's ready to occupy your lap at a moments notice.


Storm takes some time to warm up to new people and situations. He's a nervous boy with new people, especially young children. He's not a fan of very young children and would do best in a home with respectful, dog-savvy teens. When he's frightened by new people he'll click is teeth to try to intimidate. While he acts tough at first, he's more likely to cower or run off.


Leash and harness training are a work in progress and his adopters will need to help him and continue his training. Thankfully he loves treats, which is good for training but he needs to be trained separately when food is involved. Right now it is wise to feed and train him separately, as he becomes more confident in a new environment.


Storm does best with similarly sized and smaller dogs. He's happy to share toys and likes to play. He likes to play fetch with stuffed animals. He loves quality time, especially if he has to share his humans with doggie siblings. He has 3 cat foster siblings, of various temperaments. He enjoys playing with the teenage cat and snuggling with the oldest cat. He even let's the oldest cat groom him. He did take sides against the third cat after that cat bullied him and the oldest cat. After a bit of fussing, they have come to practical ceasefire and ignore each other.


Storm is doing well with house and potty training. His urge to mark indoors is reducing but it's a work in progress and patience. After one of the outdoor cats showed him how to slip under the fence, his foster began taking him to the yard on a long leash just in case. He's a curious boy who must be supervised outside as he enjoys chasing small animals, like geese, ducks, squirrels, and lizards. He'll happily run off on an adventure and enjoy a chase if given the opportunity. As he's still working on potty and leash training, Storm requires supervision outside for his safety and a securely fenced yard is highly recommended.


Sassy Storm is ready for a fur-ever family to call his own. He needs adopters who are patient and understanding. He can go to home with respectful, dog savvy teens. He'd be happy to have similarly sized or smaller doggie siblings to play with. His new home must have adopters who understand his curiosity and zest for life and the chase. While his potty and leash training continues to improve, he'd do best in a home with a securely fenced yard due to his adventuring spirit.
