Hi everyone!
My name is Noodle, I am a 5 year old gal- and BOY OH BOY do I have a story to tell!
I came in to Love-A-Bull Rescue AZ via Taipei, Taiwan! Yep, you heard right- Taiwan!
A wonderful group of animal rescuers there found me in a drainage canal. They said that my breeder dumped me off there, and I made my way miles and miles to an area that had 30 foot walls on each side. I was stuck and couldn’t get out.
I was harnessed up, and pulled out. Can you imagine??
You see, Taiwan’s culture does not have a huge want for ‘second hand dogs.’ There is no shelter system like there is here in America. Once a dog is done being bred and they are old, they are not the ‘status symbol’ they used to be. There is no want or need in Taiwan for a dog like me.
I was flown from Taipei to LAX, and 2 nice Love A Bull gals came and picked me up. They couldn’t believe how cute I am! Not to mention, the most friendly little gal in the world! I wiggle my little bum and roll over on my back to let everyone rub my belly!
On the way home from Los Angeles to Arizona, we stopped by Dog Beach, and WOW! I have never seen anything so amazing! I frolicked and played in the ocean, and it’s true… America is the land where dreams come true!
So, I am now an ‘all American girl,’ and looking for the home that I so deserve.
I would really love to be an only pet! I have no history with cats, and am very selective of the dog friends that I like, so just to be on the safe side, an only pet is the life for me!
I was adopted out a few months ago to a family, but unfortunately, the parents allowed their kids to jump on my back and it hurt! I got a little grumpy with the kid, but who can blame me!? I am not a jumping toy, I am only wanting love and respect from my humans. The rescuers feel that I AM great with kids, the kids just need to not hurt me and jump on me!
I am used to sleeping in a crate at night. I have been through so much, so getting me on a very strict routine will be necessary. I will try to break my routine with my funny ways, I will flop over and show you my belly when it's time to go to bed. Don't give in! It's a trick!
I would LOVE to attend training classes at Petsmart to learn all of these American tricks I keep hearing about!
I need a steady routine and a family who loves me unconditionally! My adoption donation is $400. You MUST fill out an application if you want to be considered for my home. NO inquiries will be returned without an application on file. We DO NOT adopt outside of Arizona, and we do not adopt to homes with more than 2 dogs.

Would you consider making a donation towards the rescue dog’s care?? Your donation will go towards their food, treats, toys and vet care. They will re-pay you with a personalized e-mail and big wet kiss!
*WHY ARE SOME DOG’S ADOPTION FEES HIGHER THAN OTHERS?
The adoption donation fees are based on age, health and needed vet care of the dogs we have taken in. The younger, healthier dogs help to pay for their cousins that need a little more TLC. You adoption donation fee also covers the cost of the spay/neuter, vaccinations and microchip of your new dog.
*CAN WE COME SEE YOUR DOGS?
All of our dogs are in foster homes around the Phoenix area. We require an application to be filled out, a home check to be done, and vet reference check to be complete before having you come meet the dog of your dreams! We will ONLY contact you when we have a potential match.
*I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL DOGS WHO I THINK WOULD FIT MY HOME, BUT THEY ARE NOW ADOPTED. WHY?
We take a lot of time to get to know our dogs in rescue. Some are barkers, which cannot go into condos or apartments, some require companionship of other dogs, and some are not good with children. Each dog is unique!
*IS THERE A WAITING LIST OF APPROVED APPLICANTS?
YES! That is why even if you are not ready to adopt, get your application into us if you want to be considered for a future adoption.
*I AM LOOKING FOR A PUPPY OR VERY YOUNG BULLDOG.
Well, you have come to the wrong place. Rescue dogs on average are between 3 and 7 years old, we do not get puppies into rescue. We would, however, be able to refer you to a reputable breeder.
*BULLDOGS ARE SO EXPENSIVE! WHY?
If you are looking for a cheap bulldog by choosing rescue, need not apply! Rescue dogs are dogs that are going to need ongoing vet care, and a lot of love and training from their new humans. We only adopt to homes that truly want to RESCUE a homeless bulldog. This is not the place to find a “cheaper” bulldog.
*I HAVE AN APPLICATION ON FILE, AND HAVE CALLED A FEW TIMES, WITH NO RESPONSE.
We will contact you when we believe we have a dog that is a match.
Please remember: Not only are bulldogs adorable and cute, they are also high-maintenance and expensive! ☺
