About Norman Wells
đź’™NORMAN WELLSđź’™
Wells is a male German Shepherd mix who is between 6-8 years old. He is up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, neutered and microchipped.
NORMAN WELLS BACK STORY: Wells came into rescue after his owner either passed away or moved away. We believe he spent his life outside and probably chained to a tree. Neighbors were feeding this lonely senior boy and reached out to the rescue for help and the rescue stepped in .When Norman Wells arrived at Sauver Des Chiens his skin was raw and broken. Wells had no hair on his tail or on his back end and resembled an armadillo. When we first picked him up we had to lift him to put him into the car, he was so nervous and afraid. Wells wouldn't come into his fosters home for the first few days and chose to just stay in the garage. He would put his paws just inside the door to eat but would not come in. He had a very large prostate infection when we got him and was promptly put on an antibiotic and neutered, which appears to have fixed the issue.
Norman Wells now has lots of new hair growing in and is learning to enjoy a beautifiul life inside his foster Moms home. He now jumps in and out of the car, with a little bit of encouragement and has learned its not so bad getting weekly baths in the shower to improve his skin issues. He has learned 'sit' and 'down' and is working on "wait". Everything his foster family has done with him has been done in baby steps. Wells does good in the crate, doesn't necessarily like it, but he will go inside and lay down. He appears to be housebroken, uses the dog door and can be left in the house without going out for up to 6 hours with no issues. Wells has only met one of the female dogs in his foster home and has done fine; his foster will be introducing her two male dogs as he gets more comfortable. He's not food aggressive, is learning to play with toys, loves a good antler to gnaw on and is affectionate to his people. He has been around a 21 month old baby and did very well with her. He has not been tested with teenagers yet and his foster is working on leash walking.
