Chicken Noodle - Shepherd and Hound Dog for Adoption in Chattanooga, Tennessee

Chicken Noodle thought she had found her forever family. Instead, at just 5 months old, she's packing up her little life and starting over. She didn't do anything wrong. She simply ended up with people who weren't prepared for the lifelong commitment that comes with raising a puppy. They gave up on her far too soon, but that does not define the amazing dog she is or the future she deserves.

Despite everything, Chicken Noodle is still the same silly, happy-go-lucky puppy she's always been. She loves playing with other dogs, splashing around in the water, and is always ready for her next adventure. She rides wonderfully in the car, sleeps soundly through the night in her crate, and is happiest when she's spending time with her people. Like any 5-month-old puppy, she's still learning and will thrive with continued training, consistency, and plenty of love. She's looking for a family that sees her not as a temporary commitment, but as a lifelong best friend.

Chicken Noodle deserves a family that understands puppies do not magically become great dogs. They become great dogs because someone puts in the time, patience, training, and love to help them grow. If you're looking for a lifelong best friend and are ready to make the commitment she has always deserved, Chicken Noodle is waiting to meet you.

Currently in a foster home in Chattanooga, TN, and available for transport to a number of locations within the continental United States.
