Noodle is a young lab and collie mix with an endless love for play and a true knack for making every day a little brighter. She’s just under three years old and packs a ton of energy into her medium frame. If you’re looking for a dog who thrives on games in the yard and can keep up with your most active days, Noodle brings that and more. She’s quick, agile, and never misses a chance for a good round of chase—especially with her fellow dog buddies. Despite her burst of speed, Noodle is a classic cuddler once the play winds down. She forms strong attachments to her people and is happiest as your shadow, always within arm’s reach for a snuggle on the couch. She gets along beautifully with other dogs in her foster home, and she absolutely needs a friendly, confident dog in her future family to help her settle in and feel secure. Her social cues come straight from her canine friends, and with their companionship, she opens up even to new people. Noodle starts out shy around strangers, sometimes barking until she has a little time to adjust. Once she sees her friends relax, you’ll see her curiosity win out. Her ideal home will offer a securely fenced yard for her daily zoomies and a playful companion to show her the ropes. She’s house trained, fully vaccinated, and spayed, and has made great strides with her leash manners, though she can still get a bit reactive if she’s unsure. If you’re in Ohio and want to add an affectionate, energetic, and loyal new member to your family, Noodle will bring her playful spirit and loving heart to your home. She’s ready for the right family who can offer space, patience, and another dog to help her shine. Your new best friend is just one click away.
