The perfect home

When Storm first came to the centre, he was weary of the world and unsure of being handled. However, with the help of the team he has come on leaps and bounds and now he is a completely different dog to the one that arrived at our doors. His true personality is now shining through and what a personality it is!

In typical Husky fashion Storm can be a bit aloof when he first meets you but warms up very quickly, once you have gained Storm’s trust you will have a friend for a life, and you will be greeted with happy ‘tippy tappy’ toes and a waggy tail. As he bonds so closely with his people, Storm is likely to struggle to be left home alone initially so will need a bit of support with this and build up time left alone gradually. He recently stayed with a staff member and was able to be left for a short period with no issues.

When Storm came into us, he had an ingrown back toenail that was causing him pain, this has since been removed but understandably Storm is now a bit wary of the vet. The team has been working hard with Storm to help him realise how fun muzzle training and being gently restrained can be when done with plenty of tasty hot dog treats. He's still working on not singing loudly when being held for the vet but is improving daily.

Storm will need a fun but gentle new owner that is happy to continue to help Storm with his confidence with handling. Storm is a big cuddle bug with his favourite people and he will initiate affection, nuzzling his head into you and wanting endless cuddles. He is a big goofball at heart and just wants to be loved. Storm travels well and loves going on adventures whether that be the beach or mountain. Even though he’s in his later years Storm doesn’t show it and still has a thirst for life. He can walk for hours and enjoys sniffing new smells and seeing new sights!

Storm is happy to have dog friends out and about (as long as they don't mind his loud singing voice) but he would like to be the only pet in the home. He will also be looking for an adult only household, a home who can dedicate their time to Storm and continue his training. He is likely to find children a bit overwhelming.

He is housetrained, recently whilst staying with a staff member he was incredibly clean and would do his signature ‘tippy tappy’ toes at the front door to let them know he wanted to go out.

You won’t regret opening your home and heart to this gentle old soul. Experience of the husky breed would be beneficial.
