At just 8 months old, this compact 40-pound shepherd mix is already a pro at making people smile. Whether he’s showing off his full-body tail wag, chasing bugs in the yard, or playing a spirited game of rough-and-tumble with his foster siblings, Noodle brings joy wherever he goes. Noodle is a social butterfly through and through. He loves people — and assumes every human is a potential new best friend. He’s great with other dogs, is sometimes curious about the resident cats but easily redirected, and does well with children. Like most puppies, he’s still learning to manage his excitement and can forget not to jump or nibble, but with gentle guidance, he’s making great progress. This clever boy is both crate trained and nearly fully potty trained — just keep an eye out for his cues. He sleeps quietly through the night in the crate. During the day, if he thinks he’s missing out on fun, he may fuss briefly before settling in for a snooze. Noodle is food-motivated and eager to please, which makes training a breeze. He already knows sit, stay, down, shake (with both paws!), and “go to your crate.” With a moderate-to-high energy level, Noodle thrives on daily exercise and playtime. He enjoys going for walks and generally walks well on the leash. He’s agile, athletic, and has shown a fun interest in beginner agility – he’ll go over jumps and through tunnels like a natural! Once he’s gotten his zoomies out, he’s all about the cuddle life and will happily curl up beside you on the couch. Noodle doesn’t require a fenced yard or a dog buddy to be happy, but he’d definitely enjoy having a canine sibling to romp within a fenced yard. He rides well in the car and just needs a little encouragement to hop in on his own. Still a puppy at heart, Noodle is full of potential, personality, and affection. He’s looking for a forever home where he can keep growing, keep learning, and keep making you laugh every single day. He’s ready to take on the world with you, join in on every adventure, and be your loyal sidekick for life! Interested in making Noodle part of your family? Contact your adoption coordinator.
