MEET NORTON…and no, he doesn’t have a virus but he came to us with horrible kennel cough!  This handsome, 3-4 yr old, 17 lb, tri-color liver (with a coat that shimmers in the sun) Lhasa Apso Mix was terrified at the shelter.  He seemed to be a bit cage aggressive, so we weren’t sure about his personality.  Once out of the crate emerged Mr. Lhasa Loverboy!  He was groomed like a schnauzer, but his long body and almond eyes gave him away!  We don’t know what he is mixed with, but it’s sweet as sugar and everything nice!  All he really wants to do is give you lots of kisses, snuggle up to you and fetch toys!  AND he actually brings them back!  

Initially, Norton can be a bit reluctant or wary of what is around him.  After all, he’s got Lhasa in him and is there to protect you!  He can pull on the leash to get you to come with him to visit a dog on a walk to its owner on the street…and as soon as he gets close, after checking him/her out, he will give them kisses!  Yes, he is very friendly with other dogs, people and everyone around.  He is quite active and could knock a small child down, but never aggressively.  He’s a lover, not a hater!  Kids over 8 yrs old are welcomed.

The ideal home for Norton would be one where he gets a lot of attention.  We don’t know his past, but we can imagine that he didn’t get the amount of love and attention he deserved.  He would be great with older kids, a family who will take him with them when they attend sports events for the kids…not to mention a Sunday at the park or for brunch.  He’s all in!  Potty training is going well but no guarantees at your house!

So, if you are looking for a social boy who just wants to be part of the family…Norton is your guy!  Are you his family?
