norman

If you're looking for the perfect combination of sweet, silly, and snuggly, Norm is your guy!At just 10 weeks old, this handsome, black-coated pup is already winning hearts with his gentle nature and goofy personality. Norm loves nothing more than belly rubs, cuddling up with his people, and hanging out with his siblings. He's the kind of puppy who will happily flop onto his back for tummy scratches and soak up every bit of affection you have to offer.Like any puppy, Norm has his playful moments! He enjoys carrying toys around, wrestling with his siblings, and showing off the occasional burst of zoomies, even if his excitement sometimes gets the better of his coordination. Let's just say walls and gravity occasionally win, but his lovable clumsiness only makes him more adorable.Norm has adjusted beautifully to foster life and has blossomed with routine, love, and plenty of positive attention. He's crate trained, sleeps and eats comfortably in his crate, and is doing a great job learning his house-training skills. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs, has done well around young children, and would likely thrive in a home that offers companionship, consistency, and lots of cuddles.Named after the lovable character from Cheers, Norm has that same warm, steady presence that makes everyone feel at home. He has a calm, easy-going temperament that's balanced perfectly with playful puppy energy, making him just as happy to join in on playtime as he is to curl up beside you for a nap.If you're ready to add a loyal best friend with a gentle heart, a goofy streak, and endless cuddle potential to your family, Norm can't wait to meet you!If you are interested in Norm, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $550.
