Norma Jeane is an approximately 8-year-old, 10lb poodle mix who is as playful and spunky as they come! She acts like a lively, playful gal who lives for the ball. Her ideal day would consist of chasing a ball non-stop, with short breaks for naps. Norma adores young children who are respectful around dogs, and she follows her child companion around the house, playing ball together. She is very sweet to other people but is not a cuddler; she prefers 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! Norma has not exhibited any separation anxiety and is non-destructive when left to roam.
Ideal Home
An adopter who wants to play fetch with Norma at least 4 times a day is required. She would be fine living with another laid-back dog, but she would also be perfectly content as a solo dog. She does not like super energetic dogs that get in her space.
Ongoing Health
Norma Jeane successfully completed heartworm treatment. She was unable to be spayed prior to treatment as heartworm management was the priority. 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. If a back door is left open, she will go outside. However, if not supervised, she may have accidents inside. She has not yet mastered signaling her need to potty. She does well in an extra-large crate and never has accidents in it, making it a great option when her human isn't home.
