Meet Norton, the gentle giant with a heart full of potential! 🌟 This lovely soul has had quite the journey, coming from the rough shadows of life as an outdoor dog—often left behind. But now, he’s ready to dive into the warmth of love and security. Since arriving at PACC, and moving into his cozy foster home, Norton has been on a beautiful voyage of discovery—learning what safety, affection, and family really mean! ❤️ Now, let’s talk about this sweetheart’s personality. Norton might be a little shy at first, especially around new faces and unfamiliar places. He appreciates that tender touch—not too close to his neck or the area around his missing eye—until trust blooms. Once you’re in his circle, prepare for some heart-melting affection! 🤗 Norton seeks love in his own gentle way, and the bond you can build with him will be incredibly rewarding. In his foster home, Norton’s got some furry pals, including both dogs and cats! 🐕🐈 With slow, supervised introductions, he’s fitting in just fine! This experienced boy is house-trained and crate-trained, and loves car rides, taking peaceful strolls in the park, and soaking in the sights and sounds of the world by the side of his loving foster family. However, Norton is still learning to navigate loud noises and unfamiliar environments, so he needs a watchful eye when outdoors. Having a secure yard with tall fencing will allow him to explore safely while feeling protected. Given his gentle nature and love for the simple pleasures in life, a tranquil home without young children would truly suit him best. He longs for a calm, understanding adult household where someone can appreciate his shyness and offer the patience he deserves. So if you’re searching for a loyal, gentle companion who just needs a little love, time, and patience to truly shine—Norton is your guy!
