Norman is a senior Dachshund that has had the unfortunate luck to wind up at an open admission shelter. Tragically, the San Bernardino City Animal Shelter is overcrowded, and therefore dogs entering the system need to be placed in foster homes, approved rescue organizations or with adopters as quickly as possible. All kennels are full as is the receiving area; there is nowhere to place the new intakes. Irresponsible owners continue to surrender their dogs. Lives will be lost for lack of space.
What really happened to 10-year-old Norman is confusing; some say he was dumped at the shelter, others say he was a stray, however another source states Norman was confiscated from his former home and owner. Nevertheless, this senior needs a loving home. A volunteer described him:
“WITH A HORRIBLE EYE INFECTION AND JUST THE MOST BROKEN HEART EVER, YOU CAN SEE THE ABSOLUTE ANGUISH ON HIS LITTLE FACE AND WE NEED TO CHANGE THAT TO A BIG, DOXIE SMILE! HE DESERVES SO MUCH BETTER THAN THIS! HE IS URGENT AT SAN BERNARDINO…WHO IS DEADLY, DEADLY, DEADLY TO SICK AND SENIOR DOGS.

Shelter staff think I am about 10 years old. I have been at the shelter since Jul 06, 2017.
