About this Dog
Imagine having a home one day, and the next, being tied up under a bridge in the sweltering Houston heat, left to fend for yourself with nothing but hope and the kindness of strangers. That’s how Noodles’ story began. But it’s not how it will end. Noodles is a resilient little Westie mix, about 4–5 years old, who’s already been through more than most dogs should in a lifetime. He was found alongside two other dogs, abandoned and helpless. Covered in fleas and grime, he arrived at the vet in heartbreaking condition. But what shines through even more than his dirt and fear is his potential, because Noodles is on the verge of an incredible transformation. Noodles is the only male of the trio, and though he’s still a little unsure and overwhelmed, there’s a gentle, playful spirit underneath it all. He ventures out to play with the other pups and will quietly curl up at your feet, soaking in every ounce of safety and comfort he’s given. Right now, what Noodles needs most is time - time to feel safe, time to adjust, and most importantly, time to be loved. We know that in the right home, with someone patient and kind, Noodles will blossom. He doesn’t need much, just a soft place to land and someone to show him that people can be kind and the world can be safe again. He’s good with other dogs and would thrive in a calm, nurturing environment. Whether you’re looking to foster or ready to open your heart forever, Noodles is ready to begin his next chapter - and it could be with you. Let’s show this little guy what love really feels like. Foster or adopt Noodles and be part of his glow-up. He’s waited long enough.

100% of Noodles's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Noodles.
Adopt Noodles and Receive Noodles's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Noodles's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Noodles's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Noodles, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Noodles's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Noodles was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Noodles’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Noodles’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Noodles’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
