Nori joined the Heartland family when Brandon and his wife welcomed their daughter’s dog into their home as she left for college. Since then, Nori has become an irreplaceable part of both the family and the office.

​

Nori has an extraordinary sensitivity to emotions. Whether someone’s voice is slightly raised or they’re experiencing overwhelming sadness, she intuitively senses heightened feelings. Her first response is always compassion—doing everything she can to climb into a lap, nuzzle close, or simply offer her calming presence.

​

Her gentle spirit and natural ability to comfort others have made her a true blessing to everyone at Heartland. Nori isn’t just a pet; she’s a source of warmth, emotional support, and joy for clients and staff alike.
