Noelle is a sweet little wild child with lots of puppy energy who we believe to be about 1 year old and a shepherd mix! Noelle is a highly intelligent, affectionate dog who truly loves to learn and engage. She has been working with a trainer 1-2x a week for the last month and has made incredible progress in a short amount of time. We’ve been focusing on building her confidence, helping her understand boundaries, and teaching her how to appropriately interact with people and other dogs — and she continues to improve! She has had respectful interactions with kids and loves a couple of 10 month old twins she recently met. She shows appropriate awareness and boundaries around children. Noelle would do best in an active home, ideally with a well-established dog who can help continue teaching her appropriate social behavior. She thrives with clear communication, consistency, and routine. She is best suited for an experienced owner, particularly someone familiar with shepherd-type dogs and committed to ongoing (positive reinforcement based) training and structure. Aversive training methods would be detrimental to her mental health and negatively impact her progress. She is a love bug, eager to please, and has so much potential in the right home. Noelle is spayed, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $300.00. If you would like more information about Noelle, please email us at projecthoperescue@gmail.com.
