About Stormy

Meet Stormy, a three-year-old Shiba Inu weighing about 20 pounds, who’s ready for a foster-to-adopt home. Her previous arrangement fell through, but that’s not a reflection of her charm. Currently in a temporary foster home, Stormy has just finished nursing a puppy and will be spayed once she’s fully recovered. Stormy is house-trained and crate-trained. She gets along well with both cats and children, and with proper introductions, she can happily share her space with other dogs, too. This loyal girl may take a moment to warm up to strangers, but once she trusts you, she’s all about the cuddles. Just this morning, she relaxed on the couch with her foster dad instead of her kennel; it’s clear she appreciates a cozy spot. If you’re ready to welcome a sweet companion into your life, consider applying for Stormy through the foster-to-adopt program. Click apply to start the adoption process.
