PARSIPPANY — Meet Norman, an 11-year-old Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso Mix who couldn’t be better looking if he tried! And, yes, his tongue really does always hang out!
Norman was rescued from Newark-AHS where he was surrendered by the family he had his entire life. Norman was abandoned at the shelter because he had a tumor growing out of his ear that his family did not want to pay to have removed. The shelter was caring for Norman and asked that we consider him for rescue and we can’t express enough how amazing it has been to have him!
Norman is currently 25 lbs but on a diet and will weigh 20 lbs once he’s bikini ready. He likes other dogs with similar, relaxed personalities and we feel he can probably live with a cat.
As a more mature gentleman, he’d prefer a quiet household so no children under the age of 16. Norman can be left alone in the home and will not destroy anything. He is also potty-trained. All he asks is that you leave him with his bed to nap on in the sun.
Norman loves to give kisses (only out of the one side of his mouth, of course) and be held in your lap. Occasionally, he gets a bit goofy and can be found doing puppy things like chasing his tail.
His foster mom says the best part of the day is waking up. He happily barks and wags his tail every morning when he first sees her and his two fur siblings. Norman enjoys walks around the neighborhood to meet new people and dogs (especially the ladies!)
Norman underwent multiple surgeries to have the tumor removed in his ear and his testicles/testicular tumor. He also had a full dental done. Norman is happy, healthy, and ready to go home!!
