2. Stormy
Superboy Stormy is such a cool pup! A tall boy, true to his mom’s breed (Anatolian Shepherd) but his dad must have been a mix of smaller breeds, he won’t be a giant breed but definitely has the intelligence and human love all shepherds do! He is learning so much so quickly in his foster home and meeting so many new people, pets and exploring new places. He’s quite the adventurer and thrives in it! Stormy is crate trained and minds his manners very well in the house. His new home will need another dog for companionship as he has always had one and as a growing puppy he would love a job to keep his mind busy too. He loves children and completely ignores the kitties. Stormy is an all around great pup, ready for his forever!
