Noodle is a 8 month old Rat Terrier in Minneapolis, MN, who needs $2,473 for Gastrointestinal Surgery for Bowel Obstruction.

Noodle was fostered by a friend. I met the little guy at a coffee hangout at another friends' house, where Noodle attended for the first time. He was social and sweet and kept returning to me, and I knew I had to introduce him to my other dog and my spouse to see if he was a good fit.

Noodle is receiving care from Mission Animal Hospital for a bowel obstruction, which will likely require surgery. He has been so brave about this, and yet I can tell he is in terrible pain.

Noodle is a sweet little boy who loves to snuggle his dads and play with his canine sister, Star. He also hunts mice, plays an incredible game of fetch, and wants to greet every neighbor he meets on a walk. He's never met another dog he didn't like, including the reactive ones.

I had to change jobs due to an emergent situation in the past year and unfortunately lost half my income. I have two medically challenging dogs, and they provide incredible emotional support to me. Noodle has impressively helped my older dog with her reactivity and anxiety.
