Norman

Meet the sweet and adorable Norman. Don't let his large size fool you.....he is such an affectionate sook. He can be a little unsure of the world so he needs a gentle and patient owner.

He seems to like children but he will need to meet the entire family before being adopted. He is food motivated and would respond well to positive reward based training.

Norman gets along well with dogs but can be a little shy of them to start with. Once he knows they won't hurt him he enjoys playing with them. If you already have a dog Norman will need to meet them prior to adoption to ensure they all get along.

He doesn't like to be left alone for long periods so having a busy active household would be ideal for Norman. Norman has a handout that will go home with his new parents to help them understand his fear of being left alone and how to help Norman through this.
His yard needs to be safe and secure with shelter from all the elements. He is more comfortable outside then in but will settle inside with encouragement and in time would be comfortable if you wish to have him inside. He is toilet trained in kennel so you could easily transfer this over to a house with the right training.

He loves to cuddle up and lean against you. He is soft and has the sweetest face that you just can't help but snuggle. Norman loves nothing more than sitting in the sun with a human snuggling his time away.

If you think Norman is your type of dog please come into the shelter and speak to the staff about Norman and getting to know him.
