Norma Jeane is an 8ish year old, 10lb poodle girl who is as playful and spunky as they come! While the shelter listed her as 10, our private vet believes she could be as young as 7. She certainly acts like a lively, playful gal. Norma LIVES for the ball! Her ideal day would consist of chasing the ball non-stop, with short breaks for naps. She's a wonderful companion for people, especially young children who are respectful around dogs. She follows the resident 4-year-old human child all over the house, and they play ball together. She is very sweet to other people, but she is not a cuddler. She wants to play with you or be independent. If you're looking for an awesome sidekick who is game for anything, Norma is just what you're looking for! She has a medium energy level and would enjoy going along for the ride, whether in your arms or in a stroller. Once inside with a ball, it's game on! Norma has not exhibited any separation anxiety and is non-destructive when left to roam freely. She great in the car and loves looking out the window. Norma coexists perfectly with the 3 other large dogs in her foster home, acting as if they were not there. She would be fine living with another dog, but she does not like super energetic dogs that get in her space. Another laid-back dog would be great, but she would also be perfectly content as a solo dog! Overall, Norma is just a wonderful, lively little pup who is looking for her BFF to do life with.
Ideal Home
An adopter who wants to play fetch with her at least 4 times a day is required. She is not a lap dog, so if you're looking for a dog that will want to cuddle, Norma is not your girl. She does not like super energetic dogs that get in her space.
Ongoing Health
Norma Jeane successfully completed heartworm injections. She was not spayed prior to injections because treating her heartworm was the priority. Wags will work with the adopter on an appropriate spay date prior to her leaving their care.
Training & Support
Norma is not 100% potty trained. If a back door is left open, she will do her business outside. But, if you're not watching her and the door is closed, she might have an accident inside. She has not yet mastered telling her humans when she needs to potty. She does well in an extra-large crate and never potties in it, which is a great option when her human isn't home.
Application Details:
- Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
- Once an adoption is confirmed, Wags' team will work with you to determine the best transport schedule.
Transportation
All of Wags' dogs are fostered in Houston, TX. However, they work with trusted transport partners to transport dogs to over 30 cities in the United States. Adopters are always encouraged to come to Houston to pick up the pup and bring them home.
