My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Minnie, the adorable 1-year-old Aussie/Collie mix, affectionately known as Noodle! Weighing just under 30 pounds, this sweet girl is full of love and charm. She's great with other dogs and has formed a strong bond with her human foster siblings, both a baby and a teenager. Noodle has an affectionate and gentle nature, always ready to cuddle and offer a wagging tail to those she loves.

As a working breed, Noodle has a natural instinct to herd, so you might catch her rounding up her toys or playmates in the yard. Her herding tendencies are part of her personality, making her both playful and intelligent. She would thrive in a home where she can stay active and engaged, especially in an environment that gives her space to explore. Her playful spirit extends to her love for squeaky toys, which she's always eager to chase and carry around.

Noodle is still learning that the world outside isn't as scary as it seems. On walks, she may get nervous and lie down when she feels unsure, but she's making great progress. She's also learning how to walk politely on a leash, working on not pulling, and gaining confidence with every step. Her foster family has been patient and gentle with her, helping her understand that new experiences are safe, and she's getting better every day.

Crate-trained and happy in her crate, Noodle finds comfort in having a safe space of her own. She sleeps through the night without any fuss and enjoys her meals inside as well. When it's time to get out, she's always excited to greet the day with energy and curiosity!

Although Noodle is still just a puppy, she's almost fully house-trained and working on bell training to let you know when she needs to go outside. With regular potty breaks, she does well, but if she's not let out in time, she may choose a blanket or carpet as an alternative. Consistency and patience will help her continue making progress, and she's already shown a lot of improvement!

This little girl absolutely loves water, so if you have a kiddie pool or a nearby lake, she'll be in heaven! She's also very food-motivated, making training sessions a breeze. Noodle thrives on snuggles and will happily fall asleep in your arms if you let her. Her loving personality makes her a wonderful companion, and she'll return your affection tenfold.

While Noodle is a sweetheart through and through, she's still working on becoming more comfortable with loud noises and barking dogs. She can be a little timid in noisy environments, but with time and reassurance, she's learning to handle these situations more confidently. Her gentle, sensitive nature just needs some extra love and patience as she continues to grow and adapt.

If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion who will shower you with affection and keep you entertained with her playful personality, Noodle might be the perfect fit for you! She's looking for a forever home where she can continue to thrive, surrounded by a family who will love her unconditionally. If you think you could be that family, apply for her today—Noodle is ready to bring joy and snuggles into your life!
