NORMAN

Description

Hello! I am a handsome guy and I came to the shelter as a stray - so my history is mostly a mystery. I am sweet and I did well with staff handling me for my intake process (exam & vaccines). I have been a little stressed at the shelter, so I'm hoping to get into a real home as soon as possible!I have been reactive around other dogs in the shelter, so everyone is working with me to help me adjust and learn more about my behavior. I seem much better when passing other dogs while walking on leash outdoors. I'll need slow, monitored introductions to pets in a home to make sure everyone stays safe. Visit this page for more information about properly introducing pets. I may do best as the only pet in a home.Insights from my adventure buddies or foater friends:`I took Norman for a dog day out with two boys. He was great with kids and did well in the car. He explored a trail and did not bark. He was quiet and friendly.``Norman is the sweetest dog in the world! He is so kind and has a friendly demeanor when meeting strangers. He was very happy on our walk loved to smell all the smells! He did very well on our walk with minimal pulling and did excellent in the car. On our dog day out we walked the pumpkin loop which is about 2.5 miles. Norman did great and had such a fun time! We walked past other walkers, bikers, and runners with little to no reaction from Norman! He mostly would look at them but keep walking. After our walk we went to Starbucks for a pup cup! Norman did excellent in the car and sat in the backseat waiting for his pup cup without trying to climb into the front. My favorite thing about Norman is how kind he is. We met a couple of strangers during our day and he loved getting pets from everyone. He didn’t jump up onto people either he would just sit next to them and let them pet him! Norman is the absolute sweetest and would a great addition to any home!`
