Adopt Norman

Doberman · Male · Young · 2 years

In the right home, Norman will be a loving and rewarding companion. He enjoys spending time with his people and, once settled, will happily show his affectionate side. He likes getting out and about and can enjoy social time with other dogs, which can be a great outlet for him. With patient owners who are happy to go at his pace and support his confidence building, Norman will begin to relax and enjoy life more fully. Watching Norman grow in confidence and settle into a routine will be incredibly rewarding, and with the right support, he has all the makings of a wonderful best friend Home requirements: Norman is a lovely boy who enjoys human company and can be very affectionate once he feels calm and settled. He’s looking for a quiet, adult home with no visiting children, where he can feel safe and build his confidence at his own pace. He can be an anxious lad at times and doesn’t enjoy being left on his own, so he will need owners who are around for much of the day initially and can build up his leaving time gradually. Norman has previously been destructive when left, so patience and a consistent routine will really help him settle. Norman is social with other dogs and can enjoy their company, but he will need understanding adopters who are happy to continue his training and provide a calm, structured environment. He may need a little extra care with handling, particularly at the vets, as he can feel worried in these situations until he builds a relationship. A home in a quiet area with access to calmer walking routes would suit Norman best, helping him feel more relaxed and confident. Available at Darlington, Sadberge
