Norman's Story

Hey, I’m Norman<br/><br/>I’m about 2.5 to 3 years old, 18 lbs of playful perfection, and likely a Cairn Terrier mix (bonus: I barely shed!)<br/><br/>I LOVE to play—fetch, wrestling with dog friends, all of it. I am used to cats, but if they like to run- I like to chase them. Not to hurt them, I just like a game of chase! I’m also a big fan of kids, but I can get a little bouncy when I’m excited, so I’d do best with bigger or dog-savvy kiddos.<br/><br/>I’ve got great manners—I take treats super gently (soft mouth pro here) and skip the play-biting nonsense.<br/><br/>✔️ Fully potty trained<br/><br/>✔️ Dog-friendly<br/><br/>✔️ Kid-approved<br/><br/>✔️ Low-shed<br/><br/>Now… I will take myself on a little adventure if a door is left open or I get unsupervised yard time. I’m just… curious about the world 🌎<br/><br/>My crate? Not my favorite yet—but I’m working on it.<br/><br/>When things are calm, I’m your chill guy. I love hanging out, observing everything going on, or watching the world from a window like it’s my full-time job.<br/><br/>Play hard, chill harder—that’s my vibe.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting Norman, please visit our website, www.safewithusanimalrescue.org to fill out an application.

I’ve got great manners—I take treats super gently (soft mouth pro here) and skip the play-biting nonsense.

Now… I will take myself on a little adventure if a door is left open or I get unsupervised yard time. I’m just… curious about the world 🌎

My crate? Not my favorite yet—but I’m working on it.

Safe With Us Animal Rescue, Inc.'s Adoption Policy
Thank you for taking the time to consider adopting one of our dogs! Our process for adopting one of our dogs starts with filling out our adoption application. Please take time doing this because it gives us a better understanding of who you are and what type of dog may fit your family. Once your adoption application is completed, our adoption coordinator will reach out to you. Please understand that we are an all-volunteer rescue, so it may take up to 72 hours for you to receive a response. We will get back to you, we promise! Once you hear from our adoption coordinator, you can expect to schedule a home visit. This is a mandatory part of our process, but only takes about a half hour of your time. During this time, we will discuss ways to welcome your new family member into your home and review improvements that may help make the transition an easy one. Please note that completing the application and home visit process, does not mean that you are obligated to adopt with us. It just means that you are working through the process to be approved for a new family member. If we do not have a furry friend that interests you right now, don’t worry! Unless there are changes with your family and/or home, this process will not have to be repeated. ***Please note, at this time our dogs may only be adopted by Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Connecticut residents.
