Story
COURTESY LISTINGNOODLE is a courtesy listing, not in the AARF foster program, and we are posting online to help the owner find a home for them. Please visit http://aarf-tn.com/adopt/adoption-app/ to apply. Meet Noodle, a gentle little companion with a soft heart and an even softer coat. This seven-year-old Shih Tzu–Bichon Frise mix weighs about ten pounds and embodies everything people love about small companion dogs: loyalty, sweetness, and a deep devotion to his person. Neutered, vaccinated, and happily living as an indoor dog, Noodle is ready to settle into a calm, loving home where he can truly relax and feel secure. Noodle is potty trained to go outside and does wonderfully with a consistent routine. He is crate trained and rests comfortably in his kennel when his family is away, showing excellent house manners and no destructive habits. At home, he enjoys the simple pleasures of life—quiet companionship, cozy spaces, and being near the people he trusts most. While Noodle is incredibly sweet, he can be shy and anxious when first meeting new people or facing unfamiliar situations. Once he feels safe, however, his affectionate personality begins to shine. He thrives with patience, gentle reassurance, and a predictable environment that helps build his confidence. Like many sensitive dogs, he may become fearful if overwhelmed, so a calm home that understands his need for slow introductions will allow him to blossom into the loving companion he truly is. Noodle gets along well with other dogs and cats and would do best in a peaceful household where he can adjust at his own pace. He isn’t demanding or high energy; instead, he offers quiet companionship and heartfelt loyalty to the people he bonds with. If you’re looking for a devoted little friend who will reward kindness with unwavering affection, Noodle may be the perfect match. With patience and love, this sweet boy is ready to find the safe, forever home he deserves. Interested in adopting?

THIS PET IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE! We do list and adopt our pets nationwide. Typical transport cost to the Northeast is $180. Due to interstate adoption regulations, we are not able to adopt to RI and MA state residents. A.A.R.F. (All About Rescue and Fixin' Inc.) http://aarf-tn.com/ is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) no kill animal rescue organization located in the Upper Cumberland area of Tennessee. A.A.R.F. is comprised of unpaid volunteers and survives only on public donations. Thank you for thinking adoption first! Prior to adoption, all canines and felines are spayed or neutered, have received their age appropriate vaccinations, have been de-wormed for common parasites, and have received treatment for prevention of fleas and ticks. All canines over the age of 6 months have been tested for heartworm. All canines are put on heartworm prevention as soon as possible - this means dogs as soon as they are tested negative. Puppies are put on prevention immediately. All felines, regardless of age, have been tested for Feline Leukemia/FIV. Each animal receives a health check by a licensed veterinarian prior to adoption. Anything else found will be treated by our organization prior to adoption. March 13, 2026, 9:30 am
