Noodles

Noodles is an adoptable male Border Terrier looking for a home at NYC ACC-Queens in Ridgewood, New York. He is senior and medium in size. He is listed on the shelter's euthanasia list, listed due to behavior, and that date has now passed. Shelters often move these dates, so Noodles may still be waiting. The shelter can confirm.

This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information. This pet is available only through ACC New Hope partners. To adopt or foster, please complete the pre-screener form below. Inquiries sent directly to ACC will not receive a response. Pre-Screener Form Noodles is at risk due to behavioral concerns. In the Care Centers, Noodles is fearful, displaying a tense body posture and avoiding most handling. His previous owner reported that he exhibits resource guarding and may snap or bite when uncomfortable. The owner also reported that Noodles bit and held onto them after they accidentally stepped on him; the bite broke skin. Noodles is reportedly crate trained and knows cues such as "sit" and "stay." His previous owner also stated that he tends to remain close to familiar people.. Medically, Noodles is apparently healthy. Noodles was surrendered to the care centers due to his owner moving out of the country. His previous owners described him as a shy, sweet, and affectionate dog. He likes taking naps with his people. In his previous home, there was a bite incident where Noodles bit the previous owner on the hand after being scared while on the bed. He is noted to snap and attempt to bite when his toys or food are touched. During his stay in care, he has been observed to low growl and have wide eyes as a handler tosses treats into his kennel. When handlers attempt to remove their leashes from him, he is noted to hard stare and become very tense. We recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide any necessary behavior modification (force-free, positive reinforcement-based) and reevaluate her behavior in a stable home environment before placement into a permanent home.
