About Norman

Are you looking for #PrinceCharming? Everyone meet the most charming man that you'll ever meet... #Norman. He's a 6 year old Westie/Maltese mix and gives the best kisses in the world. We promise that this handsome little gentleman will wheel you right off your feet ��%A4�. Seriously though, you'll never find a more affectionate boy than this guy right here�%9D�And guess what... Norman is looking for his #FureverHome. Norman was dropped off to DACC to be euthanized at his owners request, due to being paralyzed and him being to much work. But our rescue family couldn't let that happen to that handsome little face. We immediately took Norman to Dr. Greear at Woodhaven Animal Hospital. Norman was diagnosed with IVDD which has caused him to become paralyzed. Our good friends over at the Animal Resource Funding Foundation set Norman up with a Wheel Chair. He wheels around like a pro in his wheelchair, but don't let that fool you! We've been rehabbing him to walk again and he can walk up to 8-10 steps without any help. Since we brought Norman into our care he receives manipulation chiropractic biweekly, acupuncture monthly and physical therapy at home 4 times a week. When Norman isn't wheeling around the house, he's either snuggled up on a dog bed with one of his foster siblings, in bed with his foster dad or playing in his baby pin. This dapper man deserves the best home in the entire world. At the end of the day, Norman is the perfect dog, but does take extra time, patience and more work than the typical dog- Including expressing his bladder. He gives the best kisses in the world and makes the extra work worth it all! Norman is great with everyone, including other dogs, kids & cats. Norman is currently up for adoption through Lending A Helping Paw Dog Rescue. Our adoption fee will include his distemper, rabies, bordetella, parvo, and lepto vaccines; deworming; microchip; heartworm test; fecal test; being fixed & a dental cleaning. Norman is heartworm negative & is currently on heartworm prevention, as well as flea & tick preventative. Norman's wheel chair will be included in his adoption. Norman's Medical Needs: After Norman is adopted, he will need to go to Manipulation Chiropractic once a month (between $50-$75 per session on average). Norman will also need to receive acupuncture once every 3 months (between $60-$75 per session on average). We will answer any questions about Norman's on going medical needs on the phone interview. So we kindly ad that you save all questions until then. Thank you in advance.

Lending A Helping Paw Dog Rescue; previously known as the Lending A Helping Paw Dog Rescue, is a 100% Foster-Based Rescue that is ran by all Volunteers.
