Notes from No Dog Left Behind

Hi there! I’m Norbert! I’m a handsome Shepherd born around 5/22/24, and I’m here to apply for the very important position of your personal snuggle buddy! I take this job seriously, and I come with plenty of experience!

My favorite place to sleep? Right next to my human in bed, of course! Why sleep alone when we could be cozy together? Don’t worry, though — I’m also a big fan of fluffy dog beds where I can stretch out and recharge after a busy day of being adorable.

I can be a little shy when we first meet, so I might need a minute to decide if you’re my kind of person. But once I warm up, get ready for the sweetest, most loving boy! I bond closely with my people and want to be included in all the family fun. Basically, if you’re doing something, I’d love to be invited!

I have a playful side, too! I enjoy playing, and having fun before switching back into cuddle mode. I’m all about balance: a little playtime, a little adventure, and A LOT of snuggles.

Oh, and guess what? I’m already house-trained, crate-trained, and know some pretty impressive commands like sit, lay down, and kennel. I’m a smart boy who’s ready to show off my good manners!

So, what do you say? Are you looking for a loyal best friend who will make your house feel more like home, keep your bed warm, and give the very best cuddles?

Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $575.00
