Story
Noel was found outside a 7-Eleven in Inglewood with no microchip, alone, scared, and covered in fleas. A Good Samaritan took her in and searched for an owner. After her 10-day stray hold was complete, it had become clear that Noel had been dumped. Shelter Hope heard her story and welcomed her with open arms. After a vet visit and a much needed grooming, Noel is feeling much more comfortable.
This tiny 8-year-old Shih Tzu mix weighs only 8 lbs. She’s a sweet, affectionate girl who finds comfort being close to her person and would love to be someone’s quiet little shadow. Noel enjoys pets, cuddles, and cozy lap time, though she’s a bit sensitive about being lifted off the ground. She does well with other dogs and is good on a leash too!
Noel has an eye ulcer and will need daily eye medication in both eyes for life. Thanks to the Peewee Fund, founded by a generous donor in honor of senior dogs, her medical care will be fully covered throughout the rest of her golden years!
Now fixed, vaccinated, and microchipped, Noel is ready for a patient, loving home where she can relax, feel safe, and be adored just as she deserves!
More from her foster:
Day one of fostering Noel made herself right at home. She is sweet, calm and loves to cuddle every chance she gets. She is great around other dogs. She loves long walks. She kinda just does her own thing and watches from a distance when my two dogs play with each other. Nothing startles her other than when somebody coughs, and she’ll just get up and walk away. Applying her eye drops is easy, she is laidback and doesn’t fight. Noel is the perfect dog for somebody who wants a calm and cuddly companion!
