Let Norman Conquest Your Heart! Adopt Him Today!!

San Andreas, CA…Meet Norman (A059024), a gentle giant with a heart as big as his smile. Dog lovers – feast your eyes on this hunk of burnin’ love. Norman is a golden boy built like a tank. A tank of love. With his short, sturdy frame and calm, steady presence, he’s the kind of dog who immediately puts people at ease. His coat is the color of California summer grass, and his broad face is almost always split by a giant, tongue-lolling grin.

Norman was found straying in the Angels Camp area, and while we don’t know how this sweet soul ended up on his own, we do know one thing for sure: he charms everyone he meets. He has that irresistible, big-man-with-nothing-to-prove energy — relaxed, friendly, and quietly confident. He’s the kind of dog who seems perfectly content just being near his people.

Here’s some extra good news: thanks to the generous support of caring donors in our community, Norman’s adoption fee is fully sponsored. That means his future family can focus entirely on welcoming him home — no adoption fee required.

At an estimated 8 years old, Norman is well past the puppy chaos phase and firmly into his “let’s all just be comfortable” era. He takes treats gently (despite having a very large mouth), enjoys attention from his human friends, and radiates calm wherever he goes. He may not be auditioning for Mensa, but his sweet nature and easygoing demeanor make him an absolute joy to spend time with.

Norman is neutered, his adoption fee is sponsored, and he’s ready to leave the shelter behind and settle into a loving home where he can enjoy the comfort and companionship he so clearly deserves.

To meet Norman, contact: Calaveras County Animal Services, (209) 754-6509 or animal@calaverascounty.gov

Please use Norman’s intake number (A059024) when making inquiries.

All dogs available for adoption at the Calaveras Animal Shelter are up to date on their routine vaccinations and will be microchipped. All unaltered dogs must be spayed or neutered before they can go home with you.

Animal Services now has a Fee Flexibility Program!

The shelter is currently over 80% capacity, so adoption fees are reduced: just $40 for dogs and $30 for cats. Cats who arrive at the shelter already altered can be adopted for only $10. With the 55-5-5 Program, adopters age 55+ can adopt a pet over 5 years old for just $5.

Holiday Pet Pantry Drive: Calaveras County Animal Services is accepting pet food and new pet toy donations through Dec. 31. Drop items at the shelter during business hours to help local families and bring joy to shelter pets.

    Predictable. When your lame ass homo phobic BS is exposed you respond with that?? Just shows what a mental midget you really are. Moreover, shows your complete uneducated outlook on human biology. You probably think RFK is doing a great job. Shut up would you!!!! Do us all a favor and seek treatment.

    Take it up with sierra hills market?? A response nobody understands and exists only in your pea sized brain. As far as your step mother bill is concerned more stupid homophobia brought about by your schizophrenic alter ego. Why don’t you slow down and tell us what any of this even means? Or is the humor lost only in your stupid pathetic little mind. Shut up stupid!!
