Noodles D12653's Story

Hi, I'm Noodles!<br/><br/>I'm a sweet, funny little guy with a gentle personality and a playful side! I've been living in a busy foster home with dogs of all ages and sizes, and I've done wonderfully with all the activity. I love playing in the yard, keeping an eye on what's happening around me, and then finding a cozy spot on the couch, chair, or one of my favorite little "perches" to relax.<br/><br/>One of my best qualities is how wonderfully tolerant I am with other dogs. I even let foster puppies crawl all over me without making a fuss! I may be a little unsure when meeting a new dog, but once I'm comfortable, I'm happy to play. A doggy friend isn't required, but I definitely seem to enjoy having friends around.<br/><br/>I can be a little timid when meeting new people, but I'm not barky or snappy. I just like a moment to decide you're safe, and then my sweet personality comes through! I haven't been around kids or cats. At adoption events, I'm perfectly happy hanging out around kids and all the activity, but kids 10+ would likely be the best fit for me.<br/><br/>I'm making great progress with potty training, doing well in my crate, but I'm still learning how to walk on a leash and need some help with basic obedience. I'm a fantastic car traveler and settle nicely in my crate. I'm usually very quiet, although I may join the other pups in a little "puppy chorus" when I hear dogs barking or see something interesting outside.<br/><br/>And did someone say FOOD? Mealtime and snacks are definitely my favorite! I'm very food motivated, which should make training and building my confidence extra fun.<br/><br/>I'm a sweet little guy looking for a patient family who will give me time to settle in and let my personality shine!<br/>---<br/>Noodles is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 10/10/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of A9am and noon. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame. Since they haven't arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start's Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program. Visit our Foster to Adopt Program page to learn more. Once they get to Minnesota, they might require further veterinary care. Ruff Start's veterinary suite is located in Princeton, MN, and, as the foster, you will be required to transport your dog to and from these vetting appointments.
