Overview
- Police and the RSPCA found Storm last October in a Darlington property strewn with rubbish and faeces, weighing about 18.5kg with a body condition score of 1 out of 9.
- Veterinary care included dermatitis treatment, parasite control, and a strict re‑feeding plan with gradual exercise, bringing his weight to roughly 31kg.
- Centre staff describe him as sociable and affectionate, suitable for homes with older children and potentially another dog following successful introductions.
- Despite being listed for rehoming, enquiries have been few, and the charity says the owner has not been traced after extensive enquiries.
- As a sighthound with a high prey drive, he is walked with a muzzle and can pull if he spots small animals, and adopters are urged to continue muzzle use outdoors.
