Norman

Norman is a handsome 2-year-old Goldendoodle who deserves the perfect forever home! After spending most of his puppyhood outside on a chain, he has quickly adapted to indoor living thanks to his intelligence, a friendly older foster sister, and a calm and loving environment with his foster parents! Norman is about 50 pounds but was underweight when he came to Marden’s Ark Dog Tales. <br/><br/>His foster mom describes him as a true intellectual—smart, observant, and FULL of potential! Norman is a quiet, low-key guy who is a little shy due to not having had a lot of structured socialization in his past. He has warmed up to his foster family and is totally trusting them. He’s now working on learning to trust other people and is making excellent progress. He has learned basic manners in the house and is crate trained. He loves other dogs; we do not know how he would be with cats. <br/><br/>Norman is looking for a home with a family who understands the 30/60/90-day adjustment period for an adult dog. It is to be expected that there will be a small setback in his progress when he transitions to a new home. Being young and so smart, Norman should quickly regain his progress. <br/><br/>Ideal for Norman includes: <br/><br/>• parent(s) who are at home a lot during the day. <br/>• Fence is negotiable. As Norman learns about people and becomes comfortable he may get more energetic and require more activity. Dog sports, dog play, dog day care could also be outlets for this energy.<br/>• A quiet, calm attentive atmosphere with owners who will dedicate time to positive reinforcement training that keeps his mind actively learning new skills. <br/>• Another dog in the home will help him transition since he learns very quickly by observing other canines. <br/><br/> <br/>Since Norman is a Goldendoodle, he does need regular grooming. He has done well at the groomer’s with no issues. <br/><br/>Norman is up-to-date with vaccines, microchipped, and neutered. If you are looking for a smart, sweet companion and are ready to provide a patient, loving environment, Norman is ready to meet you!
