About Noemi

What are you waiting for? Apply today! Noemi is a lovable and cuddly 2-year-old Lab/Border Collie mix who is sure to brighten your days. She is incredibly friendly and playful, thriving on human connection and affection. Noemi is both crate trained and house trained, and she proudly knows a variety of commands. While she may greet new visitors by barking to invite them to play, she responds very well to training and will quickly settle down for pets. Her leash manners are strong, but her youthful spirit sometimes means she can get excited and pull, especially when she spots squirrels or birds—though her training continues to help with these distractions. With her combination of curiosity and playfulness, Noemi would be happiest in a home where someone is around most of the day to keep her company. She’s very intelligent and delights in learning, so she will easily adapt her training to new environments. Noemi is likely too energetic and playful for a home with cats or small children, but she loves napping, sunbathing, cuddling, and especially playtime. She would enjoy access to a fenced yard or daily dedicated time for exercise and play to help her burn off her young dog energy. With a loving environment and consistent activity, Noemi will make a wonderful companion for an active household. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
