Don't let the name fool you, Stormy is pure sunshine! This affectionate, high-energy pup is always on the go and absolutely adores being around people. Whether he's leaning in for cuddles or zooming around the yard, Stormy is happiest when he's with his people and part of the action. He would do best in an active home where he'll get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and, most importantly, time and attention. Stormy thrives on companionship and would love a home where someone is around often to keep him company and help him channel his energy in positive ways.
If you're looking for a loving, playful, and enthusiastic partner to share your days with, Stormy is ready to jump in paws first!
