Story
Noodle seems to have missed the memo that Bull Terriers are supposed to be bold, larger-than-life comedians. (Of course, calling him a bull terrier is solely based on that noodle nose look- no DNA science involved.) Instead, this pint-sized fellow would much rather be tucked safely beside his favorite person, quietly following them from room to room and making a career out of being adored. Sweet, gentle, and endlessly endearing, Noodle is the kind of dog who doesn't ask for much beyond kindness, patience, and a cozy spot close to the people he loves.
Noodle is estimated to be around 2 years old and looking very much like a Bull Terrier, but he is a rescue, so breed and age are simply our best guess. What we know for certain is that he is a sensitive little soul with a soft heart, excellent manners, and a deep appreciation for gentle companionship. Go watch Noodle Bug on YouTube, then come right back to read more about this lovable little shadow.

Noodle is the definition of a dog with aspirations for both lap-dog life and is currently in training to become a velcro dog. He naturally gravitates toward his people, happily tagging along wherever they go and soaking up affection along the way. When we first met him he opened up quickly- melting for baby talk and scritchy scratches.
Noodle is also wonderfully polite with other dogs. He uses excellent social cues, avoids unnecessary drama, and prefers peaceful coexistence over any fuss. While he isn't the type to dive headfirst into rowdy playgroups, he has done well meeting other dogs and would likely enjoy a calm canine companion who respects personal space and doesn't overwhelm him.
One thing Noodle made very clear during his assessment is that cats are not on his list of approved roommates. Not to embarrass him but he was pretty scared of the cat, so a feline-free home will be needed.
Noodle lovers, here is your chance to get a loyal little sidekick whose biggest dream is simple- find his person, stay close, and spend the rest of his days being loved.
If you're looking for a gentle companion with a heart much bigger than his compact frame, Noodle is ready and waiting for you!

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
