My name is JohnnyStorm!

JohnnyStorm is a sweet and playful puppy who came to us as an owner surrender, and he's truly a little bundle of joy. He absolutely adores snuggles and has a quirky love for toys—any kind! Whether it’s a dog toy, a kid’s toy, or even shoes, he’ll happily grab whatever’s nearby. Matchbox cars seem to be a favorite, but Crocs are his go-to shoes, so we definitely have to keep those and the non-dog toys out of reach!

He gets along well with everyone—adults, kids (my 5-year-olds adore him), and other dogs too. He has a bit of a playful rivalry with my cat; they love to “exchange words,” with JohnnyStorm barking and the cat hissing in return. Outdoors is where he really lights up, darting around to chase every scent he can find. With the cooler weather, though, he does shiver a bit. He’s still mastering leash walking, and while he’s learning not to walk in front of us (to avoid getting stepped on), it’s always an entertaining challenge!

When it comes to mealtime, he used to be a bit of a grazer, nibbling on breakfast, lunch, or dinner and coming back for more throughout the day. But he's gotten better lately, polishing off about 1/2 to 3/4 of his meal in one sitting.

Full of energy and a little sass, JohnnyStorm's daily zoomies are a joy to watch—especially when he’s around other dogs. We think he’s grown a bit since we first got him, and his fur is starting to change colors, so maybe that Catahoula side of him will shine through soon!
