Noodle is a sweet and resilient pup who has made remarkable strides on his journey to trust and happiness. Once terrified of people and prone to hiding in the bathroom, he has blossomed in his foster home, now enjoying the company of his foster family and their canine pack. His favorite activities include trips to the dog park for exciting games of chase and pouncing on toys in the backyard. He’s also an excellent leash walker, though he may pull if startled. After his morning exercise, Noodle is content to relax, often snoozing next to his foster mom as she works. He has been attending training sessions with his foster mom, learning essential skills like taking treats from hands (especially his favorite, provolone cheese), good leash manners, and commands like "sit" and "place." While he is still cautious around new people, he has made significant progress, even approaching his foster mom for head rubs during playtime at the dog park. Noodle is a low-maintenance dog when it comes to grooming; he handles baths, brushing, and nail trims like a champ. He rarely barks, is well-behaved when left alone in the house, and gets along well with the family cat. He is potty trained but needs an early morning bathroom break to avoid accidents. Noodle would thrive in a loving home that values patience and understanding. He would do best with another friendly and playful dog, as he enjoys being part of a pack. He is not fond of aggressive or overly excitable dogs and can be startled by loud noises or sudden movements. Ideal adopters will have experience with dogs and a calm, nurturing environment that allows him to continue building confidence. If you’re ready to take things slow and offer Noodle the supportive home he needs, which includes a secure fenced-in yard, he could be the perfect addition to your family!
