Noodle

Lurcher · Female · Adult · 4 years

This is the wonderful Noodle! She is a lurcher who understands a SIT! She is full of beans, loves her snacks and toys and is looking for a new home to soak up all the love and attention she can. Noodle enjoys her walks, liking to sniff around and have some time to zoom off lead. This is usually short lived, and she quickly wants to have a little lie down in the grass or head back to her kennel for a snooze! Noodle would love to have her own private garden for her sniffing investigations, playing, learning some toilet skills and bonding with her new family. Ideally, walks in green spaces away from busy roads would suit Noodle the best. She can be a cheeky lady when it comes to stealing treats and due to her height and following her snoot, she could be prone to a bit of counter surfing in kitchens! Noodle came to us as a stray and has met a few dogs since being with us. She is friendly and independent when meeting other dogs, she can sometimes be playful, but she finds bargy play too much and she is a little unsure of smaller dogs. For this reason, Noodle would love to be the only dog in the home. Due to her breed type we think it is best she doesn’t live with cats or small furries. When you are Noodle’s friend, you are her friend for life! She loves her known people, leaning in for fuss and accepting all the love. She can be worried of more formal handling, and we have been working on ways to help her feel comfortable with this. Noodle has shown she can be uncomfortable and worried when meeting new people, so she is hoping for patient, calm new owners who can advocate for her if she is uncertain and can give her space when needed. As she is a stray, we do not have any information of what Noodle thinks of children and seeing her uncomfortable behaviours on site, we feel a home with older teens who can be sensible around Noodle would be best.

About Noodle

What life with Noodle looks like

Noodle is a large adult lurcher dog waiting at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in London.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Noodle, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Noodle?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Battersea Dogs & Cats Home handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Noodle on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Noodle if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Battersea Dogs & Cats Home will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Noodle already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Noodle isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Battersea Dogs & Cats Home early rather than rehoming privately; they know Noodle and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
