About Noah

Noah is a 9-month-old Border Collie/Labrador Retriever mix with a goofy heart and a head full of clever ideas. Always up for a game, he gets along well with other dogs and can entertain himself with toys or keep close as your shadow. He isn’t interested in chewing furniture or shoes, though you’ll want to keep your socks and dryer sheets stowed out of reach; with a gentle nudge, he’ll give them back without a fuss. Noah can get overstimulated in louder, chaotic settings and does better with slow introductions. Once he knows you, expect lots of sweet snuggles. He’s kennel trained, sleeps soundly through the night, and will go to his kennel when asked. Potty training is solid, and his car manners are impressive—calm and observant on every ride. Noah recently wrapped up a 10-day obedience course and has nailed commands like "wait," "place," "come," and "heel," plus he’s reliable on a loose leash. He needs an adopter who’s confident and dog-savvy, someone willing to continue his training and help his personality shine. Noah does not get along with cats or young children, so a pet-free and kid-free home with experienced hands is ideal. If you’re ready for a blend of play and affection, Noah’s waiting in GILBERTS, IL. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
