Meet Stormy!

Stormy is a 1-year-old, 13-pound female Chihuahua mix, likely with some Dachshund or Basset Hound as she is a bit longer and shorter. She has a huge heart and adorable underbite!

Stormy has been through a lot and will take some time to get used to a new home, but she is a survivor, and when her trust is earned, she is as faithful and loving as anyone could ask for. She loves chewing on bully sticks, hanging out near her human, sunning in the yard outside, and playing with other playful dogs. She doesn't care much for toys, but she will cuddle her family and sleep curled up right next to you if you let her. She doesn't take up much space and she'll keep you warm! She doesn't mind riding in the car either!

Stormy is potty trained and asks to go out, but she uses a pee pad at night for now. As she gets older, she will likely be able to hold it until the morning.

Stormy loves treats and is food motivated, but not resource guarding. When she finishes her food, she politely looks to finish the other dogs' food too, but she soon backs off with a gentle reminder of saying her name. She responds to the word "no" and loves to be told she's a good girl She answers to her name and typically comes when called - unless she is super interested in whatever is distracting her! Then you may have to repeat yourself ... but hey, as far as dogs go that's pretty good!

Stormy would do best in a relatively quiet home with a fenced yard. A person who is home more often than not would be ideal, so either work from home or hybrid schedule. She likes most other dogs, but a meet and greet would be good to have. She loves playing with other dogs outside, sunning in her yard, and being with her people. She is a great watchdog and will protect her home by barking, so a house is better than an apartment.

Stormy will be a faithful companion and your best friend. She has captured our hearts with her lovingness, courage, and survivor spirit.

If you have a loving and patient home where Stormy can live her best life, apply to meet her today!

Stormy is being fostered in Austin, TX and is adoptable in throughout Texas.
