About Norton

Norton is a gentle giant with so much to give. He came to PACC after a tough life, likely as an outdoor dog who was left behind. Since arriving and transitioning to foster care, he's slowly discovering what it means to be safe, loved, and part of a family. Norton is still shy around new people and needs time and patience to warm up, especially with men. He's particularly sensitive about being touched near his neck and the area around his missing eye. However, once he learns to trust, he actively seeks affection and enjoys love in his own gentle way. Currently, he shares his space with other dogs and cats, adjusting well with slow, supervised introductions. Norton is house-trained, crate-trained, and loves car rides, relaxing in the park, and taking in the world by his foster family's side. Because he's still a bit nervous about loud noises and unfamiliar environments, he needs to be monitored outside and will require a secure yard with tall fencing and a solid gate. A home without young children would suit him best as he appreciates mellow, simple pleasures. Norton would thrive in a calm adult household with someone who understands shy dogs and can offer a slow, supportive approach as he gains confidence. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who just needs a little time and love to truly shine, Norton is your guy. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
