Noelle (Affectionate, Trained, Family-Dog Friendly) - Rhodesian Ridgeback and Black Mouth Cur Dog for Adoption in Houston, Texas

**Meet Noelle!**

Noelle is an 11-month-old sweetheart who's happiest when she's included in whatever her people are doing. Whether it's a morning walk, a weekend hike, a trip to the lake, or simply hanging out in the backyard, Noelle is ready to be by your side.

She has an adventurous spirit and would love a home that enjoys the outdoors. A fenced yard with room to explore, a nearby trail system, or a family that enjoys walking, hiking, running, or spending time in nature would be a great fit. She also loves water and would happily join you for any outdoor adventure.

Noelle gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would especially enjoy a confident canine playmate to romp around with. She could thrive with an active family, a runner looking for a companion, or a home with another energetic dog that would enjoy having a best friend.

While she loves being active, Noelle also has a softer side. After a day of fun, she's more than happy to settle in for cuddle time and relax with her family. More than anything, she wants to be where her people are.

This smart girl already knows **sit, down, and crate**, and she's eager to learn more. She enjoys toys, playing fetch, and spending time with her humans. She's also respectful in the home and isn't known for chewing or destroying household items.

Noelle currently lives with cats and does well with them. She's curious and may try to engage them in play, but she has shown no aggression. She also lives with a young child and has done well, though her youthful enthusiasm means she'd do best with children who are comfortable around an active young dog.

**Noelle's Ideal Home:**
Family or individual who enjoys an active lifestyle
Fenced yard or access to outdoor adventures
Someone looking for a loyal companion to share life with

If you're looking for a loving, outdoorsy best friend who will happily join your adventures and then curl up beside you at the end of the day, Noelle may be the perfect match.
