About
Hi, I'm Norman.
I'm 3/4 Chihuahua and 1/4 French Bulldog, and just look at my lovely brindle stripes. I’m very much admired for my handsome, stripey appearance.
I had lived in my last home since I was a puppy, so coming into rescue has been a big change for me. My person didn’t want to part with me, but sadly couldn’t keep me either, so now I’m looking for a brand new chapter.
I’m a gentle, loving boy and I really do adore a cuddle on the sofa, in fact, the sofa is one of my favourite places in the world. I’ll happily snuggle with my humans or curl up with a doggy friend. I get on well with other dogs and would really like to have a canine companion in my new home. I miss the company, as I lived with my dog mum right up until last year when she passed away at the fine old age of seventeen.
Life hasn’t made me the bravest chap. I can be anxious at times and certain noises or sudden bangs, like fireworks and thunder, really worry me. Sometimes my fears come out of the blue, so I’ll need a patient home where I can feel safe and supported. I think fireworks season might be especially tough for me, so a calm, understanding family will make all the difference.
I have to say I don’t like the rain much either. I’d much rather stay cosy and dry inside, if that’s all the same to you.
I enjoy gentle play with my foster brothers, though I’ve made it clear that my bed is my special space for when I need some quiet time to myself. The sofa, though, that’s for sharing.
I enjoy my food and will take treats very politely. I’ll even give you my paw in thanks if you ask. I’m also a good little house security guard. I’ll let you know if someone’s at the door, then settle when you give the all clear.
I don’t mind older children who understand dog language, especially as they’re often good at giving fusses and fussing is one of my favourite things. You’ll know when it’s time because I’ll gently paw you to let you know I’m ready.
Foster mum says I’m the sweetest, most loving sofa buddy you could wish for. She thinks I deserve a quiet home, with someone who’s home most of the time and another dog for company. In return, I’ll be your loyal best friend and the best sofa snuggler you’ve ever had.
I’m still a little camera shy, but you might spot me on the sofa in my photos. In case I haven't made it clear, it’s where I’m happiest. Please check back for more updates after my health checks.
Lots of fuss,
Norman x
