Story
Norah was picked up by our county animal control as a pregnant momma. Just two weeks later, she gave birth to her puppies on a cold, concrete floor. Severely underweight, stressed, and exhausted, Norah needed help, and we were asked to step in.
On September 2nd, Norah and her two babies, Lolo and Grace, came to Good Catch. She weighed just 53 pounds and was completely depleted. We immediately started her on a high-calorie diet with added vitamins and minerals to help her regain her strength while continuing to nurse her puppies. From day one, she proved to be an amazing momma and an even more incredible dog.
We estimate Norah to be around 7 years old, although she fools us sometimes when she gets the zoomies or rolls around with a puppy toy in her mouth. She loves her outdoor adventures just as much as her couch time, making her a wonderfully balanced companion for so many different homes.
This beauty has never met a stranger. She welcomes every new person with a smile and a wagging tail and has been gracious with the more than 15 different dogs she's met during her time in rescue. She pays no mind to our resident cats, but the Pyrenees in her certainly enjoys barking at our cows and goats! And yes, you read that right! Norah's top breed is Great Pyrenees, followed by German Shepherd and Chow Chow. You can see the results of her DNA test above.
Norah has spent her life raising litters of puppies. It shows. Her boobies hang down like Christmas ornaments, but her years of motherhood are reflected in something even more beautiful: her incredibly maternal and nurturing nature. This momma is patient, calm, doting, and loving. Very little rattles her, and the simplest things delight her. A new smell, a squeaky toy, a good chew, or a tasty treat can make her whole day.
Norah is now 65 pounds, fully vetted and so ready to follow her babies down the road to what we call "Foreverville." For years, Norah has given everything she has to raising her babies. Now it's her turn to be somebody's baby. She deserves a family to call her own, a soft place to land, and the kind of love she's spent her whole life giving away. We can't wait for her to finally know what that feels like.
