Norton

If summer had a mascot, it might look a lot like Norton… soaking wet, grinning ear to ear, and proudly swimming back with a ball like he just conquered the ocean. <br/>Norton is a 3-year-old, 60-pound Lab mix who has discovered his true calling in life: water retrieval specialist. Toss a ball into a pool, pond, or anything remotely splashable, and Norton is already airborne before it hits the surface. Dive, paddle, retrieve, repeat. It’s his version of fine art.<br/><br/>He enjoys his bursts of fun, especially when a ball is involved, but he also knows how to settle in and relax. After a good swim or a game of fetch, he’s more than happy to dry off and hang out with his people like the solid, easygoing companion he is.<br/><br/>And speaking of his people… Norton really, truly wants to make them happy. He’s the kind of dog who looks to you for direction, connection, and approval. Give him a job, toss him a ball, or just tell him he’s a good boy, and you’ll see that tail go into overdrive.<br/><br/>Norton does well with other dogs and enjoys having canine companions.<br/>He’s both house trained and kennel trained, rides beautifully in the car, and is ready for whatever adventure you’ve got planned… especially if it involves water and a tennis ball.<br/><br/>A physically fenced yard will give him a safe place to stretch his legs and practice his signature moves, but his real wish list is pretty simple: a person (or people) to love, a ball to chase, and maybe a splash zone or two.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a dog who brings a little sunshine, a little laughter, and a whole lot of heart, Norton is ready to dive right into your life. <br/>Norton is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and heartworm tested. <br/><br/>If you’d like to meet Norton, please fill out an adoption application at www.furfunrescue.org.<br/><br/>If you have questions about Norton you can email rox@furfunrescue.org or call 319-929-6657.<br/><br/>Adopters must live within a two-hour radius of Cedar Rapids, IA.<br/>Indoor homes only.<br/>Adoption Fee: $300
