About Norman

Meet Norman, a charming little dog around 5 years old and weighing approximately 14 lbs. Norman joined the Mostly Mutts family from animal control and has been thriving on the love and care of the volunteers. Now, he's eager to find a family to call his own. Norman has shown he can get along well with more mellow dogs, though he’s not a fan of overly active puppies. Though he hasn't met any kids yet, he prefers a calm environment during meal times, so older children who respect his space would be best. This sweet boy can be a bit timid at first, but with some patience, his delightful personality shines through. He enjoys cozy moments and has even turned a simple treat into a fun game of soccer. Currently, he’s in the Mostly Mutts University training program and has mastered commands like 'sit', 'stay', and 'come', with more to learn. He’s been good about his crate manners and potty training, especially on a schedule. Norman is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and has had cherry eye surgery; he’ll need periodic dental check-ups due to some mild tartar. Norman is ready to be a loving part of your family.
