Norris

I'm looking for my forever home. Could you be my perfect match?

Are you right for Norris?

2-year-old Norris is looking for his forever home he has come to us as a stray and has proved to be a friendly boy who loves to be with people so any alone time will need to be build up slowly. Norris is not keen on other dogs and is reactive so will need to be muzzled on his walks. He is a really good boy and wears his muzzle comfortably with no issue. Norris can live with children 11+ but needs to be the only pet in the home. A private secure garden would be beneficial, so he can potter around without any distractions and burn off some energy. Our training team are able to help with ongoing training but a good understanding of dog reactivity would be advisable.

Is Norris right for you?

Norris is a firm favourite with his handlers and has shown he knows some basic training, he is a big foodie and loves a treat so this will be useful for future training. This cheeky boy is looking for a home that can give him stability and take things at his pace. Norris loves to be sniffing around outside and exploring, then once he is done all he wants is to be snuggled up in the warm with his human best friend. If you are looking for a companion dog to join your family and do not want to walk your dog with multiple dogs then Norris is the one for you.
