Meet Norman
Breed: Dorky
Barking from: Whiritoa
What's up dog?
Norman is an integral part of the Animal Management team for Hauraki District.
He spends time in the office where he is readily available for daily pats and hugs, reducing stress and improving mental health. He does occasionally bark at our Mayor who is extremely forgiving.
Norman also goes out on jobs with the team, welcomes new dogs into the pound and even is a wonderful foster brother when a dog needs extra care.
