About Norma Jeane

Norma Jeane is an approximately 8-year-old, 10lb poodle girl who is as playful and spunky as they come! While her previous shelter listed her as 10, our private vet estimates she could be as young as 7, and she certainly acts like a lively, playful gal. Norma lives for the ball – her ideal day would consist of chasing it non-stop, with short breaks for naps. She adores people, especially young children who are respectful around dogs. She follows her 4-year-old human companion everywhere and they play ball together. Norma is very sweet but not a cuddler; she wants to play or be independent. If you're looking for an awesome sidekick who is game for anything, Norma is your girl! She has a medium energy level and would enjoy going along for rides, but once inside with a ball, it's game on!

Ideal Home

An adopter who wants to play fetch with Norma at least 4 times a day is required. She is not a lap dog and not a good fit for someone looking for a cuddly companion.

Ongoing Health

Norma Jeane successfully completed heartworm treatment. She was unable to be spayed prior to treatment due to its priority, but arrangements will be made with the adopter for an appropriate spay date before she leaves the rescue.

Training & Support

Norma is not 100% potty trained. She will go outside if the back door is left open, but may have an accident inside if not supervised. She does not have accidents in her crate and is crate trained. She has not exhibited any separation anxiety and is non-destructive when left to roam.

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
  • If you are a good fit, our Adoptions Director will email you to set up a Zoom call, which is the first step in our consideration process.

Transporation

All dogs are fostered in Houston, TX. We work with trusted transport partners to transport dogs to over 30 cities in the United States. Adopters are also encouraged to pick up their pup in Houston. Once an adoption is confirmed, our team will work with you to determine the best transport schedule.
