Norman is an affectionate, playful, athletic, and curious 8–10-month-old with an irresistibly expressive personality. He is emotionally sensitive but not fearful, extremely smart, and loves staying close to his people. He enjoys leaning against you, sitting on your foot, playing fetch, and zooming around the dog park.

Norman is friendly with people, children, and most dogs. He is curious about cats but has not spent enough time with them to be left unattended. He is quiet overall, with only occasional little yips to initiate play, and generally stays calm even when other dogs are barking.

Ideal Home

Norman would thrive with someone who is home frequently, a work-from-home person, a retired adopter, or a multi-person household. He becomes sad when left alone and may not eat his treats during those times.

Ongoing Health

Norman is neutered, vaccinated and boosted, dewormed, heartworm negative, and on preventatives.

Training & Support

Norman is crate trained and house trained. He knows basic commands including sit, down, and stay, comes when called, retrieves, and learns new commands easily. He responds best to positive reinforcement and is sensitive to scolding. With additional training, he may be a candidate for Canine Good Citizen certification or visiting sick and elderly people.
