💔 SPECIAL RAMEN HOME NEEDED FOR NOODLES 💔
Meet Noodles. 🥺🐾
Noodles is seven years old. At this stage of his life, he should be enjoying the simple pleasures of retirement. Sleeping in inappropriate places, collecting belly rubs and becoming instafamous so a gen Z doesnt have to work a 9 to 5.
Instead, this poor snausage has been sent to more addresses than a local parcel being delivered by Aus post.
Noodles came to us from the pound. Yep this gorgeous boy was taken to a pound. We found him a beautiful adoptive home, and for a moment, we thought his story had finally reached its happy ending.
Despite initially testing negative for heartworm, a repeat test revealed his first result had been a false negative.
Yep. Heartworm positive.
Because apparently being seven, homeless and having the structural integrity of a cooked spaghetti noodle wasn't quite enough character development.
Sadly, his wonderful adopters had previously experienced the heartbreak of losing a dog, and the thought of potentially going through that again was simply too much. With heavy hearts, they returned him to our care.
Since then, Noodles has been through another two foster carers.
And the saddest part?
Noodles has absolutely no idea why any of this keeps happening.
He doesn't understand heartworm. He doesn't understand why he keeps moving. He doesn't understand why the people he starts to love aren't there anymore. Its not our carers fault either. Life happens.
He just keeps loving whoever is in front of him.
And my God, does this little boy love. 🥺
Noodles is genuinely one of the sweetest souls you could ever meet.
He absolutely adores other dogs. He'll snuggle right up beside them, curl himself into whatever ridiculous position is required and fall asleep like a tiny, emotionally dependent breadstick. (Proof in comments)
No other dog available? That's fine. You're now the designated emotional support mattress.
He doesn't care.
He just wants to be close to someone.
His only real crime is being aggressively affectionate and medically inconvenient.
Now, before anyone panics about the heartworm diagnosis, Noodles is already undergoing treatment, fully funded by DARE.
That's right. We're paying for his treatment. You just need to provide the love, stability and a couch for him to slowly colonise. There is always a risk that the treatment won't be successful but this boy is acting like a 1 year old with an open packet of crayons so we have full faith.
His treatment does come with veterinary requirements, including exercise restrictions, which we'll explain and support his new family through.
We are desperately searching for a wonderful home for Noodles as soon as possible.
Because this boy needs stability.
Not another temporary address.
Not another goodbye.
Not another opportunity to memorise the layout of a stranger's kitchen.
He's seven years old. He deserves a bloody retirement plan, not a frequent flyer membership.
And despite everything, he hasn't become withdrawn or stopped trusting people.
He still approaches life with that beautiful, innocent belief that every person he meets might just be his person.
Honestly, if humans had half the forgiveness and unconditional love of dogs like Noodles, the world would be a significantly less sh*tty place.
Somewhere out there is someone who won't see a seven-year-old dog with heartworm.
They'll see a beautiful, gentle, affectionate little soul who has been dealt a pretty rubbish hand and deserves the chance to finally put his paws up.
We don't need someone to rescue him from his diagnosis. We're already taking care of that. Don't apply just because you pitty him. He IS a commitment.
So please, if you've got room in your home, another dog who wouldn't mind acquiring a clingy little roommate, and a heart big enough for a boy who's had a rough run, consider Noodles.
And if you can't adopt, please share him.
Because if we have to update this poor boys address one more time, we're going to have to register him with Australia Post as a mobile business.
Let's get Noodles home.
