Bright yellow squeaky tennis balls are his absolute favorite, and he could happily spend hours chasing, retrieving, and showing off his impressive fetch skills. His previous family shared that while he would thrive in an active household that enjoys playing with him regularly, he's also surprisingly laid-back and adaptable. After all, Nori is just as talented at relaxing as he is at playing.<br/><br/>His foster family has quickly fallen in love with him and describes him as smart, sensitive, lively, and incredibly loving. Nori has an endless supply of enthusiasm when it comes to fetch, but once playtime is over, he's perfectly content to curl up beside you under a blanket for a cozy nap. The moment he trusts you, he becomes a devoted companion who greets you with joyful excitement, often carrying a ball or tug toy to share.<br/><br/>Because of his sensitive nature, Nori can be nervous in new situations, especially when there is a lot of noise, activity, or unfamiliar surroundings. When he feels overwhelmed, he prefers to retreat to a safe space and take things at his own pace. His foster family is helping him build confidence on leash walks, and he's making steady progress with routine and positive experiences.<br/><br/>Nori is highly motivated by treats, praise, and spending time with his people. He already knows several commands, including sit, shake, leave it, wait, touch, and down, and he enjoys learning new things. He is also wonderfully cooperative with grooming and handles teeth brushing, baths, paw wiping, and nail trims with ease.<br/><br/>Nori would thrive in a patient, understanding home that can continue helping him grow in confidence. A fenced yard would be a dream come true, giving him plenty of room for his beloved games of fetch and the occasional zoomie session. Most importantly, he's looking for someone willing to give him the time, love, and reassurance he needs to truly blossom.<br/><br/>Nori is the perfect combination of playful and cuddly, energetic and relaxed, smart and sweet. Whether you're tossing a tennis ball across the yard, teaching him something new, or sharing a quiet afternoon snuggled under a blanket, Nori is happiest when he's with his people.<br/><br/>Can you help this wonderful boy begin the next chapter of his life?<br/><br/><br/><br/>Please visit our website and submit an adoption application today to meet Nori and discover what an incredible companion he can be.<br/><br/><br/>https://www.seniordogsanctuary.com/adoption-application.html
