About Norbert

Meet Norbert! 💙🐾 Norbert is an absolutely adorable little man with a sweet nature and plenty of puppy charm! Norbert is a little on the shy side when meeting new people and experiencing new things, but underneath that initial hesitation is a lovely little puppy just waiting to come out of his shell. He'll need a little time and patience to find his feet, but watching his confidence grow will be a very special part of having him in your life! Norbert is looking for a kind, patient home that will let him settle in at his own pace. Positive reward-based training, gentle socialisation and lots of positive new experiences will help him grow into a confident, well-rounded dog. We don't know what breed mix Norbert is, so we can't say for certain how big he will grow, but we suspect he will be on the larger side of medium to large. We think Norbert could benefit from living with an older, confident dog who can show him the ropes and help him learn all the good things about being a dog! He could also potentially integrate well into a home with other animals, given the correct introductions and supervision. Norbert would likely do well with older, dog-savvy children who understand that he may sometimes feel a little overwhelmed and need some space. Like any young pup, Norbert will need guidance with all his puppy basics, including toilet training, puppy manners and learning about the big wide world. If you've got a little patience, lots of love and room in your heart for a sweet little work-in-progress, Norbert could be just the boy for you! 💙
