About Norman

Hi, I'm Norman! I'm a playful pup who loves having furry friends around. I was found wandering near a hospital, a bit hungry and a little scared after a run-in with some big dogs. Thankfully, a kind person helped me, and now I'm living the good life in my foster home. I have a blast playing with the other dogs here, though my foster mom calls my play style "exuberant." I'm still recovering from a broken toe, which has made things a bit boring, but I'll be back to my energetic self by late July or early August!

I'm an energetic guy who is always up for an adventure and very food-motivated – I'll happily munch on any snack! I do sleep and eat in my crate, but I'm not a fan of being crated when you're home. My foster mom loves my unique ears, a perfect blend of floppy and upright. My guess is I'll be around 50 lbs when fully grown, perfect for someone wanting big dog looks in a more manageable size.

Ideal Home

I thrive in active homes where I can have plenty of adventures. I absolutely love other dogs and would do best with at least one canine companion to play with and burn off my boundless energy. While I'm sweet and gentle when meeting children, my exuberant play style and love for playful nipping didn't work out well with small children in the past. I would do best in a home with older children only.

Ongoing Health

I'm currently healing from a broken toe, which is expected to be fully healed by late July or early August.

Training & Support

I'm still working on my energetic play style. I'm very food-motivated, which helps with training! I'm not a fan of being crated when you're home, so I'll let you know if I'm feeling left out.
