Norman is such a funny, smart, and fabulous dog!
If you want an agility dog… he's your man! He can jump and twist and loves running through the tunnel. He likes to play tug, fetch, and keep away. He's great with kids and adults and is the type of dog you can take on adventures and nothing phases him. This fellow is super smart and already knows sit, shake, high five and up - he learns in a flash. Norman seems to be very happy to meet other animals too. Whoever adopts this guy is one lucky adopter!
Thanks to Dolly's Dream, they have kindly paid his adoption fee, and he gets to go home with goodies to help him settle in. Is Norman (ID 691068) going to be your next family member?
