My story

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

Spay/Neuter of dog is scheduled at a vet of our choosing and is part of the adoption fee - date will be on the adoption contract - this is if not already sterilized.   We take the dogs that are adopted down...so if a dog is on the website they are available.

Obedience training and fully fenced in yard is required for all our pups.   Completion certificate for training needs to be emailed once complete.  When applying pictures/videos of your fully enclosed yard is needed.

Please only send inquiries to the email in this bio all others will not be answered. Please read the bio before sending questions - we answer all we know about the dog here. If the question is not answered in the bio please send emails to   info@HeidisLegacyDogRescue.com

 

MEET STORMIE ï¸
Looking for a smart, loving best friend with a built-in smile? Stormie might be your girl!

Stormie is a 10-month-old female German Shepherd who found her way to Heidi’s Rescue after her original owner realized puppy life wasn’t the right fit. She arrived very underweight, but thanks to her love of treats (and her talent for learning tricks), she’s doing amazing and thriving in foster care. âœ¨

She’s a “pocket” GSD and will likely top out around 50 lbs—perfect if you love shepherds but don’t want a giant one. Stormy is extremely smart, a fast learner, and can pick up new tricks in minutes, especially if snacks or playtime are involved.

Despite being a puppy, she’s refreshingly easy:
✔️ Sleeps through the night
✔️ Loves her crate (it’s her safe place!)
✔️ Moderate energy—two walks a day + mental stimulation and she’s happy
✔️ Can entertain herself when needed

Stormie is affectionate, joyful, and truly lights up a room with her smile. Her favorite things are pets from her person and playing throw (she’s still working on the “bring it back” part ).

Important info for the right match:
 Not a fan of other dogs in home
️ Prefers being fed in her crate due to past food insecurity
 Not suitable for homes with cats or very small children (she loves to chase!)
 Would do well with older, respectful kids who enjoy snuggles

Stormie would thrive with a family experienced with working breeds who can offer structure, consistency, and love—the things she’s been missing and absolutely deserves.

She’s a happy little ray of sunshine ready to bond deeply with her person.
✨ Could Stormie be the one to light up your life? âœ¨

Stormie's adoption fee is $500 -  Obedience training after adoption and fully fenced in yard is required for all our pups
