About Norman

Norman landed at the rescue as a stray, so his early story is a mystery. At first, he kept his distance, but with time and patience, he’s started to reveal his silly side. Norman is a young, energetic pup who craves activity and structure—he needs an adopter ready to invest in training, set routines, and build trust over time. He picks up commands quickly and already knows “sit” and “place,” but he’s still working on leash manners. Norman does best as the only dog in an adult home where he can soak up all the attention—other dogs don’t bother him much, but he thrives solo. His people-loving and goofy personality comes out once he feels safe. With patience and guidance, he’ll be a loyal, eager-to-please companion for someone looking for an active, loving addition to their life. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
