My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

*Fostered in Cedar Rapids Area*
Stormy is a 5 year old girl in search of her forever home once more. She was returned to the rescue after a conflict with an older dog in her previous home. The cause of the fights is unknown, but since coming back to the rescue, she has been a perfect angel. She spent some time at a doggie/daycare boarding facility where she attended daycare and had no issues with other dogs. Since then she has been moved back to her original foster home where she gets along great with the resident dog and does great with the resident cats.
With great enthusiasm, Stormy loves to roll and push herself headfirst down the yard. She is sensitive about her bent ear, which is thought to be the result of an untreated ear infection that led to a hematoma. Understandably, she prefers her ears not be touched very much. Beyond that, Stormy is generally cooperative with handling, adores being brushed, and absolutely loves a good scratch. She loves her food and has learned to wait for her foster sibling to have food in their bowl before she eats. She follows commands wonderfully and goes potty on command with a "hurry up, go potty!" prompt. After a day of napping, Stormy-girl will often get the cutest zoomies. She walks well on a gentle leader but will pull without one. She has been trained with an e-collar and responds to the tone. Stormy is highly motivated by treats and will stay close by for them. She absolutely LOVES children and does great at the dog park. She does good in the house and doesn’t even need to be kenneled as long as the trash is put up. She is such a nice, sweet girl!

More about this rescue

Founded in 2005, we are a volunteer home-based rescue group run by dedicated volunteers. Our dogs live in volunteer homes as family members with the same love, care and attention they would receive in an adoptive home.

We provide training, socialization, vet care and evaluation for all of the dogs in our care. All of our dogs are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed or neutered prior to adoption.
