Storm is a big bundle of fun who is guaranteed to capture your heart! She loves playing with toys and will show off her puppy-like mannerisms as soon as a cuddly toy comes out. She will happily play a game of fetch or take herself off on her own for play time. Storm can be strong on lead when she wants to, but we feel this is very manageable for someone confident with bigger dogs. She really enjoys having a tasty treat which will help with her ongoing training. She will need plenty of mental stimulation in the home such a destruction boxes and activity puzzles. Storm is an absolute bundle of joy who cannot wait to find her forever home. (Credit: Dogs Trust)
