Foster insights/story : Stormy was a stray rescued from a Texas shelter that had been injured at a young age. She did have FHO surgery on her left back hip/leg and has recovered beautifully. As a result she does have a bit of a different gait but is no longer in pain, and can live a full and normal life. She is nothing but a lovebug. The only 2 things she wants to do are play and love. This special girl will make an amazing addition to any family.
