When homeless boys walk the streets alone, the last thing they want is to be spotted and taken to safety. They want to feel the soft touch of a man and feel that they deserve it. After being rescued and brought to a shelter, all dogs hope to find forever homes, live with people, and finally find happiness.
It is sad to know that many shelters have older dogs and dogs in poor health on their euthanasia lists. Noodle was one of the shelter dogs that was scheduled to be put down due to her health and no one wanted to give her a home.
When he was alone in his kennel, the day before the scheduled euthanasia, he didn’t know that a big-hearted woman had come to his rescue.
Save Noodle’s life

Noodle was a loving stray dog who was brought to a shelter in Detroit. He was suffering from a brain disease that left him unconscious. The situation also made him tremble.
When he was at the shelter, his owners didn’t claim him and no one was willing to give him a home. Unfortunately, after Noodle wandered off, the vet advised him to sleep. His euthanasia was scheduled for the next day. Tiffany Perkins is the founder of PAWS Friends Network, a small shelter and large support network for paralyzed, amputee, wheelchair and large shelter dogs. Perkins also offers geriatric care. He couldn’t sleep the night he heard the noodle story. He thought only of her and ran to save her in the morning.
Fall in love with a cute puppy

As soon as he brought Noodle home to Detroit, he fell in love with her and knew she was his. He was very charming and kind, and the two immediately became friends. At first, Perkins had no idea that Noodle would become a hospice business. He gave her a lot of love and wanted to give her the best life possible. She got on well with her other dog, Luke, and they became good friends. They often hugged and stroked each other. Because Noodle was underweight, Perkins thought she would have to live on the streets for a few weeks. He put her on a special diet and she began to gain weight and strength. The adorable dog kissed his mother on the cheek every chance he got.
Perkins learned a lot about Noodle’s disease. His faints were triggered by excitement, and she tried to make his life predictable. She made sure that her pup had a peaceful environment.
Perkins lowered her bed so that her doggo could get in and out on his own.
To keep him relaxed, she got a lower couch and put it towards the window so that Noodle and his brother could look out of the window.
“Seeing him happy and seeing the world out of his window is one of the greatest joys that I’ve ever had in my life.”
Noodle loved watching the rain with his mom and his brother. He felt safe and loved while his mom cuddled him.
Noodle Lives A Happy Life
The affectionate pup often went on walks. Perkins took him to the beach and he loved it. His eyes sparkled with happiness and he had a big smile on his face as he enjoyed the beach view.
Perkins adores Noodle, saying that he reminds her of “the biggest, sweetest marshmallow.”
She credits the affectionate doggo for helping her go through a difficult time in her life. She feels lucky to have Noodle in her life.
“Noodle is such a comfort to me personally… His timing and coming here was so perfect. We were grieving the loss of our previous dog and he really helped heal us through that process. And I think it’s because he’s just so kind and so sweet and just such a such a big teddy bear,” said Perkins.
We’re very thrilled that Noodle found a wonderful forever home. He’s cherished and loved like he deserves.
Huge thanks to Perkins for increasing the visibility of senior and disabled shelter dogs and for giving Noodle the loving home he always dreamed of having.
