Animal Profile: Noel is a cute 1 1/2 year old Pit Bull mix who joined us from California on January 10. We will post more info as we get to know him. 

Seattle Foster Update: This big, sweet, exuberant pup will  thrive in a home where he gets training, leadership and structure. He will do best with a resident dog that is close to or equal to his size due to his lack of body awareness. (He tends to crash into things in the house!) He loves walks and he'll go over agility jumps in his foster's yard, so he'd enjoy activities like that. He even followed his foster straight up the wooden stairs at the neighborhood playground and loved it! Noel is a bit barky with new people, especially men, but once he knows everything's okay he’s turns wiggly. He's gaining confidence with strangers now. He will go outside to potty but he doesn't like to spend much time outside, especially if it’s raining.

Noel has a tendency to resource guard toys/bones with other dogs so it would probably be best to find him a home as the only dog.  He does well with dogs outside the home or if the resources are picked up inside the home, he does currently share a home with a resident dog in his foster and this has been manageable.
