Meet little Norman - Our best assessment (NO GUARANTEE) is that Norman is currently about 4 months old and appears to primarily be an Aussie mix.

So how did Stormin' Norman get that crazy name you ask? Well, he was picked up from a local shelter in an unlikely NC snow storm. When we got the call that an underweight and unsocial pup was found in the woods cold and wet, we were on the way and loaded him in to a warm car.

First on the agenda was a bath. He was unsure but enjoyed the warm water and being clean, always watching foster mom and complying.

Days 1-5 were just getting to know each other. Mom would sit with him and talk and each day get a little closer and a give a few more loves.

Day 6, snow again and this time he felt good. He knew he was going to be let in to a warm house with snacks and dinner, and, boy, did he open up. We saw the little play bows, dodging and that Aussie butt wiggle.

Some things are hard to forget though. At the end of the day, he found a spot in a pile of leaves and laid down to sleep. But, with just a nudge, he happily headed in with the pack.

So far, he can entertain himself or play with his foster siblings. He is smart, learned his name and crates when asked.

He has met the dog walker and does well once he is confident they are friends.

He is a work in progress but doing great.

Stay tuned for updates on Norman or apply if you see the little gem we do.

He is up-to-date on core vaccines, dewormed, current on flea preventative, and can be microchipped!
