Storm is the absolute opposite of his name — he’s actually a big ball of sunshine. Storm is a 6-year-old pit bull who’s looking for a home and family to call his forever! He was found as a stray running the streets of Rome in December 2018. Luckily he was adopted out in April 2019. He was unfortunately returned to us in September 2022 because his family had a change in their lifestyle. Some of Storm’s favorite things include sitting pretty for treats, going on walks, and his all time favorite thing is to cuddle. This love bug would make an excellent couch potato and companion! Storm does fairly well with other dogs and older children. He is not a fan of cats and would prefer a house without them. To visit Storm, stop by the Humane Society of Rome, 6247 Lamphear Road, call 315-336-7070 or go to www.humanesocietyrome.com.
