Norman's Story

Norman<br/>1.5 year, neutered male, 24 lb<br/>Shepahuahua<br/><br/>Norman's story begins with a FREE PUPPIES sign on the back of a truck at a swap meet in Hanford, CA. A good Samaritan scooped him up, put him on a transport, and transferred him into foster at Wiggly Tails.<br/><br/>Norman was adopted at the age of 4 months by a kind woman who he loved very much. They became very bonded to each other and lived happily together. A year later, however, she died suddenly and Norman found himself all alone in their apartment. His original foster came to get the terrified dog and bring him home. <br/>There, he was able to decompress and recover from his loss.<br/><br/>As Norman lived with only one person, he wasn't well socialized as a puppy. He can get quite nervous with new people. Once he knows you however, he will be your bestest friend for life. He will want to sleep with you, snuggle with you, and be carried like a toddler. He is a true velcro baby.<br/><br/>Due to Norman's need for slow introductions, we are willing to allow him to be fostered for a short time to settle in before an adoption decision has to be made. <br/>We would supply you with his personal items, and you'd let us know how it was coming along - just like he would be in his current foster home. We're confident he'll come around and do well if someone is just willing to be patient and give him a chance. (His foster home just absolutely adores him and he's very affectionate with them.)<br/><br/>Norman is crate trained and has not had any accidents in the house. He is still pretty nervous on leash, but he rides in the car well. He loves other dogs and is respectful of cats. Small children are not recommended as they can be scary. A fenced backyard is a must for Norman.<br/><br/>To further inquire about NORMAN, submit an application.<br/><br/>ADOPTION APP: https://www.wigglytails.org/adoption-application<br/><br/>Tell us about yourself, family, other pets, and how NORMAN will mesh with your lifestyle. Qualifying applicants will be contacted by our Adoption Coordinator with next steps and an opportunity to set up a Meet & Greet.<br/><br/>Our process is NOT a first come, first served process.
