Comments:Norman is a very playful and energetic, sweet pup. This little guy has a neat story.. During the terrible storms last week, a woman in Memphis heard some scratching at her door. When she opened up the door- little bouncy Norman walked right in as if he owned the place. She could not keep him because her apartment would not allow pets, but she could not bear to send him to the pound where he would surely be killed. Lucky for Norman, he got a first class ticket straight to Hillcrest where he is awaiting a family who will love him and never leave him out in the pouring rain again!
This dog is located at an animal hospital in Memphis, TN because this poor little baby was at an extremely high kill/ high disease shelter in Brighton, TN (close to Memphis). I work up here on the East Coast with a group of women who try to reduce the rate of euthanization at this kill shelter. Prior to rescue help, Tipton put down 80% of the dogs that walked through their doors after just five days. We have had great success placing these precious babies all over the country. Over 200 dogs have been placed in our area and up to New England over the last 6 months and the response has been overwhelming. Many families would happily talk to you about their experience working with us and adopting an "urgent shelter dog."
For many people, adopting a dog sight unseen is a very stressful experience. We can completely appreciate this and do everything in our power to bring these dogs up to foster homes up North. However, this is often not a possibility as we have a number of dogs and so few families willing to foster. We have put an excellent system in place and have wonderful and insightful volunteers in Memphis that are outstanding in determining the personality of each dog and letting us know what kind of family would be the right fit.
