About Norm

Adoption Fee: $0
Beagle / Basset Hound
Age: Senior

Please read entire description. Norm's adoption fee is waived to a permanent home who will make him comfortable for the rest of his life. If interested in fostering or adopting, please complete an application on our website at www.pawswapofgreaterlafayette.com/adopting. Norm! is looking for a new spot to call home. He is currently staying with one of the best foster families that a rescue can have and they think he is pretty special. Norm Peterson-or Norm! for short-a very Cheers-y fellow who enjoys the simple life. Norm! is a later-aged (10?) mixed breed (basset/hound/lab?) who prefers to stay calm, yet enjoys watching others' hustle. Norm! is an awesome chillin' companion at home or in public; he's been great interacting with others at the Farmer's Market, restaurants, and on walks. If there are house guests, Norm! greets them as they arrive, then finds a good place for everyone to come pet/hug him. Norm! won't run distances, he's a master of leisurely strolls. He'll keep a spot warm on the couch, then be the best possible 'next-to-your-lap' dog as he accepts all the ear/back/belly rubs that can be offered. Norm! won't wow people with any of his tricks, his best trick is being happy to be with you. Seriously, Norm! is a good dog. Also seriously, Norm! needs special care in a forever home or foster home with people who understand his health issues and able to meet his needs. We learned he has diabetic ketoacidosis, and currently needs insulin shots twice daily. Norm! also as a tumor in his bladder. It's inoperable, but he's taking medication that may help shrink it. If the meds work, Norm! can still live happily another year or more; if meds do not help, then Norm! just needs a good place to live out the rest of his life, while he masters chill-ability. If you are interested in helping Norm!, we can set you up with meds and supplies. Ideally, he would do best with a person home frequently for more opportunities to go outside to potty due to his condition. Norm is fantastic with kids, dogs, and likely cats.
