Norma
Jean, our 12 pound 1 year old terrier mix, isn't afraid of anything.
Public speaking? No problem. Spiders? Just an 8 legged friend she hasn't
met yet. Norma Jean is so brave, even traffic didn't deter her from
playing in the street. Although (as you'll find out) that didn't go
perfectly for her, Norma Jean remains as courageous as ever.
The
shelter asked us to take in Norma Jean after she was found stray and
injured. Likely hit by a car (oops), Norma Jean sustained a broken
pelvis. She's been with us for weeks and has healed really well! The
injury caused some sciatic nerve damage, so Norma Jean has a mild limp
and decreased sensation in one of her back legs. But, she is in no pain,
and her mobility is continuing to improve. Norma Jean may need to wear a
baby sock or booty on her bum foot on longer walks so she doesn't
scrape it. If having to buy one tiny dog booty doesn't encourage an
adopter, we don't know what will.
Norma Jean loves people. Well,
adult people. Loud small kids are confounding to her, but older children
should be just fine. When Norma Jean is not playing and romping around,
she is snuggling. A huge fan of lounge time, Norma Jean would love to
live with someone who wants a lap dog.
Our Norma Jean is great
with other dogs, but we have not yet seen her with cats. A slow
introduction to dog savvy cats should be fine. She is crate and potty
trained. A big fan of chewing, Norma Jean will require toys in her new
home. She's still learning hands are NOT toys, but is getting the hang
of it.
Norma Jean is heartworm negative, microchipped, and current on her flea and heartworm preventative.
If
Norma Jean were a person, she'd probably be a daredevil or tightrope
walker. But, Norma Jean is a dog and her only current challenge is
finding a home. Is it yours?
