My story

Little dogs hold a special place in our hearts. They are companions through and through. For them is it all about love and being with their family. Family is where they want to be and that is exactly where Norbit sees himself. He is a little boy weighing around 15 pounds and his best years are yet to come. Our boy Norbit is a shih tzu of around 7 years old. His heart is ten times his size and his sweet personality is priceless.When not spending time with his people, Norbit will feel comfortable hanging out with his peers. He does well interacting with other dogs and children but has not had experience with a cat since coming into rescue. Norbit will enjoy resting and snoozing on the lap of his favorite person or persons. He has a medium energy level and could easily adapt to a family that enjoys time at home, going on family outings, spending time outdoors or just hanging out. Norbit knows that he will fit in perfectly into his forever family. Norbit finds himself learning the basics and continues to work hard on his house, crate and leash training. He knows it is a matter of time, but he also knows his family will assist him in his endeavor to learn each skill to perfection.A little dude like Norbit does not take up much physical space but he can and will take up all the room in your heart. He does not take love lightly so when you have his love you have all of Norbit. * Please keep in mind when considering adoption, dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust significantly better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability.The adoption fee for Norbit is $300. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees. To get the ball rolling, head over to our Adoption Application and submit your application today. A Dog Star representative will contact you within 24 hours. To speed up the process, contact your vet and give them permission to speak with us.If you do not get a response within 24 hours, check your spam folder.August 19, 2025, 6:31 am

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Norbit, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
