We may never understand the way that some people treat animals. Our dogs are deserving of caring and loving homes. When they know they are loved and safe, they pour out their little hearts for their whole lives. Unfortunately, some people don’t care.
A good family dog is really special. It takes the perfect amount of tenderness, protectiveness, and ALL the snuggles for a dog to be a good family dog. Stormy was all that and more. He is excellent with kids and really good with other dogs. Even more, he plays with cats and has no issues!
Even with his gentle and affectionate nature, his family still gave him up.
With their fifth baby on the way, the family decided that it was time to make room by removing someone else. Little Stormy soon found himself being left by the family he had loved all his life.
“He spent all of his life with a family with four children, two [other] dogs — one small, one big — and a cat, Then the woman got pregnant and had her fifth baby, and decided that he was too much.”- Alana Guerrini, Shelter Volunteer
The family dropped him off at a busy Brooklyn shelter.
Previously known as Freshy, the shelter renamed him to Stormy. He was terrified and didn’t know what was going on. For the gentle-natured dog, all that was happening was confusing and scary.
“You could see the fear and terror in his eyes in that picture [at the shelter], and you could see how brokenhearted he was,” Guerrini said. “I looked at that face, and it absolutely crushed me.”
