Norma Jeane is an approximately 8-year-old, 10lb poodle who is as playful and spunky as they come! Our vet believes she might 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 a ball non-stop, with short breaks for naps. An adopter who wants to play fetch with her at least 4 times a day is a requirement. Ball is life for this little girl!
Norma is wonderful with people, and especially adores young children who are respectful around dogs. She is very sweet to other people, but she is not a cuddler. She wants to play with you or be independent, and is not a lap dog. 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 – she isn't looking for super long walks, but would enjoy going along for the ride, whether in your arms or a stroller. But once you're inside in the AC with a ball, it's game on!
Norma has not exhibited any separation anxiety and is non-destructive when left to roam. She does need a little help with potty training; if a back door is left open, she will do her business outside. However, if you're not watching her and the door is closed, she might have an accident inside. She hasn't quite mastered letting her humans know she needs to potty, but she does fine in a large crate and never potties in it, making it a great option when her human isn't home. She is great in the car and loves looking out the window. Norma lives with 3 other large dogs and coexists perfectly with them, acting as if they were not there. She would be fine living with another dog, but 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 a wonderful, lively little pup looking for her BFF to do life with.

Norma Jeane successfully completed heartworm injections. She was not able to be spayed prior to treatment as heartworm treatment was the priority. Wags will work with the adopter on an appropriate spay date prior to leaving their rescue.
Training & Support
Potty training is a work in progress. She needs a watchful eye and clear cues to avoid indoor accidents. She is crate trained and does not potty in her crate.
