Meet Norman: Your Future Shadow, Professional Snuggler, and Certified Foodie!

Are you looking for a loyal sidekick who will follow you everywhere, love you unconditionally, and occasionally help himself to unattended snacks? Look no further! Meet Norman, a one-year-old Dachshund/Terrier mix who packs a whole lot of zest for life and personality into a 22-pound package.

Norman is neutered, housebroken, and doing wonderfully with his manners (though he’s still a teenager at heart and believes all food within reach is technically community property).

Why You’ll Fall in Love with Norman:

The Ultimate Shadow: Wherever you go, Norman is right behind you, eager to be part of every single moment of your day.

Affectionate & Playful: He’s a wonderful blend of high energy for adventures and maximum cuddle power when it's time to wind down.

Social Butterfly: He adores people and makes friends effortlessly—both human and canine!

Surprisingly Quiet: Unlike many pups his age, Norman is remarkably polite and rarely barks. The only time he uses his voice is if he gets startled by the dark or briefly loses sight of his favorite person.

Adventure Ready: Neighborhood walks, car rides, or exploring new places? Count him in! Norman approaches every outing with pure joy and enthusiasm.

A Few Quirks & House Rules:

The Toy Terminator: Norman loves a good chew toy, but let's be honest: stuffed toys meet a swift and hilarious end with him.

Shoe Safety Advisory: Slippers may occasionally be mistaken for chew toys, so keep your footwear secure!

The Houdini Act: Norman is an enthusiastic door dasher. Keeping doors and gates securely closed is a must to keep this adventurous boy safe.

Norman is currently safe, loved, and waiting for his forever home. If you’re ready to open your heart (and maybe keep your kitchen counters a little clearer), this fun, loving little guy is ready to steal your heart.
