Meet Noelle! This sweet 2.5-year-old terrier mix may have had a rough start, she arrived as a stray and sadly, no one came to claim her. Understandably, she was shy at first, retreating to the back of her kennel when people passed by. But with time, patience, and gentle care, Noelle has started to bloom. Now, she's showing her playful, affectionate side! Noelle is delightfully dainty with her toys and loves a good romp, but she’s just as happy lounging by your side and soaking up love. She knows "Sit" and "Paw," and she’s a dream on leash, graceful and easygoing. Noelle would thrive in a calm, loving home with children 14+ and up who can give her the gentle attention and time she needs to keep building confidence. She’s ready for a fresh start and a forever family to call her own.
