Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Sweet Norwood has a tale as old as time. This two year old beagle mix was found in an inner-city neighborhood with significant wounds all over his neck, and a shotgun pellet in his ear. We don’t know what happened to him, but we do know he didn’t deserve it. Norwood is a big, gentle soul and he wouldn’t hurt a fly. He is looking for a peaceful home to enjoy the good life in.
Now that he’s all healed up and decompressed, we have learned so much about him. He is reserved and friendly, but prefers a quiet life. He is good with other dogs, but not the kind of pup you’d take to the dog park, and he would likely do just fine without another dog in the home or with a friendly, calm pup. He thrives with routine and predictability, and will start to come out of his shell when he knows he’s safe. He gets the cutest wrinkle in his nose when he smiles at his foster mom, and he talks to her too!
Norwood is uncomfortable around chaos. While he does well with the teenagers in his home, we think his ideal home would be an older, established family that doesn’t have too much “bustle” in the home. That being said, if he feels that the activity is too much, he will head to his crate happily for some quiet time.
Whatever happened to this sweet boy, he didn’t deserve it. Now we are here to make sure that the rest of his life makes up for his rocky start. If you are looking for a gentle, calm soul to provide companionship for the rest of his days, apply for Norwood!
