About Norman

Norman is a delightful surprise, arriving as a Standard Poodle instead of the Miniature Poodle many expected. At about 7 years old and 32 pounds, his big personality is slowly emerging after spending years in a puppy mill. While he's initially nervous around people, he learns to trust and can be a loyal companion once he feels safe. Discovering the world anew has been a joy, as he navigates everyday experiences that most dogs take for granted. He’s playful and enjoys the company of other dogs and even gets along well with cats. His silly antics include declaring war on stuffed toys, and he has an endearing obsession with his own reflection. On walks, he shows impressive calmness despite passing bikes and cars, proving he's ready for outdoor adventures. Norman does seek a family that can spend ample time at home, as he doesn't enjoy being left alone for long. Being house trained on a schedule, he might need reminders during his bathroom breaks but is overall learning quickly. With patience and positive reinforcement, Norman is set to thrive in a loving home. Visit Whitewater, WI, to meet this sweet boy. He might just be the unexpected joy your family is looking for. Your new best friend is just one click away.
