Hi. I’m Noodle.

Yeah, like the floppy kind. That’s because when people found me, I didn’t have much strength left. I was really skinny, covered in wounds, and too tired to stand for long… so I’d just kinda flop over.
They said, “He’s like a noodle.” The name stuck. That was over a year ago.

Now look at me. I’m a 60-lb Belgian Malinois mix with muscles, shiny fur and big ears. I worked really hard to get here. My body healed pretty fast. My heart? Still working on it.

I’m a smart guy. Like… really smart. I love puzzles, shredding boxes with treats inside, and figuring things out.(I prefer to do my shredding when no one’s watching. Sometimes I think I’ll get in trouble if people watch me)

I like being close to my people. I’ll lean on you. I’ll nap next to you. I might even use you as a pillow. But sometimes I get nervous if someone grabs or holds me while I’m lying down. I just feel safer when I get to choose.

I take Prozac that helps my brain not worry so much. It’s been helping.

My preferred living arrangements are:

Children- Only older children that can respect my space. Also young children’s toys would be my toys. I’m not the best at sharing.
Cats - Thats a no for me. My brain says “CHASE” and I can’t help it.
