My story

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

Stormy (blue collar, known as Nimbus at PACC, A850307) is full of spunk and sass! She loves to play and I love to watch her run after toys and ounce on them! She wrestles with her sister every day, and then curls up with a bone on the couch, or on the cushion behind my head for a good snooze. She has no manners and gets sprayed with a water bottle for jumping and nipping. She needs someone who has the time and patience to train her. But she is very smart and very friendly and playful!
Both girls are under-socialized and bark and growl at anybody new coming into our home. It took a couple hours when they first came here of being in their crate before they relaxed enough to want to come out and meet us. I don’t think they will take long to warm up to another family, but they do require a little patience. They are only about 9 months old, and still love to chew and nip.
These girls are looking for their forever home. They need someone who has the time and knowledge to train and socialize them after they are healthy. Both girls are positive for distemper virus. They are not a risk to adult dogs who are up to date on their vaccines, but they can’t go out in public until they test negative. PACC wants to retest them in February. If they are negative, then they can be spayed and vaccinated and adoption finalized. They will be foster-to-adopt until that time, which means they can go home with their new family and PACC will continue to cover their medical care until everything is done.
