Norman's Story

At West Valley Animal Rescue, we do things a bit differently. While many rescues take days to respond or never reply at all, we move fast. The application (link below) is the first step and helps us confirm that you and your household are a great fit. Once you submit it, text us right away. We’ll review it quickly, and if approved, we can often schedule a same-day adoption appointment so dogs spend less time waiting and more time loved.<br/><br/>https://www.westvalleyanimalrescue.com/app<br/><br/>💙 Meet Norman 💙 A tender little lap lover who just wants to be close. Norman is a loving, gentle boy whose favorite place in the world is curled up in your lap, soaking in warmth and affection. When he came to us from the recent 62-dog home we assisted with, his coat was in rough condition and required a shorter haircut to help him feel comfortable again, and he will need regular grooming moving forward to keep him looking and feeling his best. It is clear he was loved, as he has done well with kids and other dogs. Norman learned to use puppy pads in his previous home and is now being introduced to a dog door in foster care, and his soft, devoted nature makes him a perfect snuggle companion for someone wanting a constant cuddle buddy.<br/><br/>Norman’s adoption donation includes his age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, neuter, microchip, collar and leash. Apply below to adopt Norman.<br/><br/>We are a foster-based rescue with homes mainly in Goodyear and Buckeye. If approved, you’ll meet a volunteer or foster family at a local pet store we partner with or at a foster home for adoption. The address will be shared once your appointment is scheduled. Breed and age are estimated and not guaranteed. Please see our website’s FAQs for more information.
