Pet of the Week: Norman

WASHINGTON – Norman is a sweet senior seeking that special someone for golden years’ companionship.

All this low-maintenance 10.5-year-old mixed-breed needs to be happy is a laid- back comfy home with a person who will give him lots of love, tasty treats and maybe a short walk now and then.

He’s the perfect size for apartment living and traveling, and he gets along with everybody — human and canine, alike. He’d enjoy a gentle or small-breed dog friend, but would be equally happy as your one and only.

As part of WARL’s seniors for seniors program, Norman’s adoption will be waived for older adopters.

WTOP Living is partnering with the Washington Animal Rescue League to feature a Pet of the Week available for adoption. For more information about Norman, email adoption@warl.org or call 202-726-2556 ext. 503.
