Meet Noelle
(reserved)
Breed: Goldendoodle
Age/Gender: 1 years, female
Weight: 45 pounds
Expect Graduation Date: Early April
Noelle was a rescue from the Durham Animal Shelter. She is such a delightful girl. She is mostly calm/relaxed indoors, but her silly goofy side comes out when she is outdoors! She LOVES to play... she loves other dogs, stuffed animals, and rolling around in the grass. So far she has loved everybody she has met and her tail wags constantly. Her very very favorite thing is splashing in water (mud puddles, creeks, and everything in between!)
Noelle will be receiving FHO surgery for her hip dysplasia and then go home to her forever family after recovery!

Meet Maggie
(reserved)
Breed: Standard Poodle
Age/Gender: 1 years, female
Weight: 35 pounds
Expect Graduation Date: Early March
Miss Maggie Mae is just a gem! She was initially very timid, but has slowly come out of her shell to show us what a lovely and attentive dog she is. She is incredibly gentle, mild-mannered, and kind. She loves stuffed animals-- especially the ones she isn't supposed to have (i.e. belonging to the human children). She enjoys giving gentle kisses and snuggles and playing with other dogs. She is responsive to training and socialization so the sky is the limit with what she can accomplish in the future.
