Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu / Bichon Frise / Mixed (long coat). COURTESY LISTING NOODLE 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 aarf-tn/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?
