Norman is a 4-year-old boxer/hound mix. He leaves us to wonder which of those breeds gave him the giant ears! His body is very boxer-like, lithe and agile. His nose? Not so boxer.

Norman is very well-behaved, and he knows the commands “sit,” “down” and “roll over.” There are probably more tricks in his repertoire, but those three are the only ones we unimaginative volunteers could think of off the top. He also is neutered and up to date on his vaccines.

Though Norman is a bit skittish and will need time to warm up to his new family, he is smart and charming. He would do well with older children. He is available through PAWS of Grays Harbor, 800 W. First St., Aberdeen. His adoption fee is $205.

PAWS is open by appointment only at this time. You may call them at 360-533-1141 or fill out an application online at www.pawsgh.org. They are also on Facebook and Instagram. Those over 55 years of age receive a 20% discount on adoption fees.
