NOEL was saved from a high kill shelter in Texas where dogs have just 3 dogs to be saved. NOEL is spayed, core vaccines, rabies, de-wormed, monthly preventatives and micro-chipped. She has an estimated date of birth of 6 December 2018 and at the time of rescue in the middle of April 2019,  weighed around 29.60 pounds. She is listed as a Lab Mix . We have no way of knowing the exact breed, it is up to individuals to decide what breed they think is most likely.

We do not have cats or livestock at the rescue so are unable to comment how any dog is or will be around them. ​

NOEL is a young, high energy, fun loving girl. She loves everyone she meets and is fantastic with other dogs. She loves to chase and be chased and will play and wrestle with the other dogs and then relax and sleep cuddled up amongst them. She can be vocal when she is playing and does instigate play, and is great with both small, medium and large dogs.

She would be a great family pet, she is so much fun, so loving and gentle. She is always friendly and happy to see me or the volunteers that come occasionally come over.

As with all dogs she will need basic and advanced training so that so she can learn her families rules, boundaries and expectations. NOEL is very responsive and I feel that she will be easy and fun to train and will be eager to please. She is a gentle girl and I think would make a great family dog.

NOEL would be great in a family environment but she must understand that she is not in charge and that rules and boundaries must be followed, she is confident and so I am sure she would push and test the boundaries. She is young, fun and would be great for an active family to take her on long walks and adventures.

All dogs (except dogs saved from China) are available for adoption for an adoption fee of US $550.
Canadian adopters need to know that customs charge 15% taxes when entering into Canada. This fee is not negotiable and is used to cover the rescue costs of pulling, vetting, health certificate, transport from Texas to Maine, monthly preventatives, supplements, food and anything else that is needed.
