Description
Meet Storm, a male border collie mix born in May 2021. While he’s not the most cuddly dog in the world, he still longs to be loved.
Storm is incredibly active and needs a space where he can freely burn off his energy, with owners who can join in with games or sports to help him stay engaged. With a little care and proper exercise, Storm can even become a “cuddly” companion.
Storm is ready for adoption: he will join his new family vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered.
