Storm

My story

Meet Storm! This 3 year old Husky Mix was e-listed at MCACC for fear. Storm is a very shy and timid boy. These traits unfortunately did not benefit him in the shelter environment. When we met Storm at the shelter, he took his time warming up, but was very sweet. We knew that once he was out of that environment, Storm would begin to open up and show his personality. In just a week’s time, Storm became very comfortable in his foster home. He is a medium energy boy who likes to go for walks. He has great leash manners and his pulling is minimal. He loves cuddles and will curl right up on your lap for some belly rubs! Storm also now plays with the other dogs and has been showing what an affectionate boy he can be. On the downside, he has shown some marking behavior in his foster home in areas where other dogs frequent, so we think this is adjustment-based and related to the other pups. Although he plays with the other dogs and overall does very well, he has gotten into a few small scuffles over toys - nothing to the extent his fosters have felt that he needed to move homes, but we want to make sure any adopter knows all the details. Storm currently shares a foster home with 5 other large dogs, and that’s a lot for him so we think this could be contributing! He is very responsive to correction or redirection of any unwanted behavior thankfully, and really does want to do the right thing - he just sadly has never had anyone show him what that was before. Storm would do well with children of all ages, and would make a great family dog—he is even good with cats! As far as other dogs, he plays well right now in his foster home with other dogs, but older mellow dogs or even a home as an only dog could fit his personality as well. He can be scared by males, and takes some time to warm up. Males in his new home would need to have patience in earning his trust. Storm continues to come out of his shell every day and is learning to be loved and cared for. He cannot wait to find a family of his own!
