Noel is a mix of so many great things: smart and sweet; small but sturdy; playful yet loves long naps in her favorite chair. She is 3 years old. After less than a year in her original home, she was abandoned at a high kill southern shelter at Thanksgiving because her family had travel plans that didn’t include her. Told that overcrowding meant she’d likely be euthanized, they left her behind without even telling the shelter staff her name. Noel is loving with humans but she would do best as being the only dog in the home. No cats or small animals for this gal. She’s athletic without having energy to burn, and loves sleeping outdoors in the sun. We can't wait to see if Noel is just the right fit for you.
