​

Noodle is a calm, friendly, and exceptionally gentle dog who brings comfort and joy to everyone he meets. He thrives on human interaction and is happiest when playing, being cuddled, or simply sitting quietly beside someone.

Noodle’s warm and affectionate nature makes him an ideal companion for individuals of all ages, including those with neurodiverse conditions.

 

The Benefits of  Noodle Visits

​

Spending time with therapy dogs like Noodle has been shown to offer a wide range of emotional and physical benefits:

• Reduces stress and anxiety

• Lowers blood pressure and heart rate

• Enhances mood and emotional wellbeing

• Promotes social interaction and communication

• Provides comfort and companionship

• Encourages gentle physical activity through play

 

These benefits are backed by research showing that therapy dog programs improve mood, reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, and support emotional regulation in both healthcare and community settings.

 

Noodle in Healthcare Environments

 

Noodle is available to visit a range of healthcare settings, providing meaningful, calming experiences for patients.

During a visit, individuals can:

• Pet and cuddle Noodle for comfort

• Assist with light grooming (e.g., brushing)

• Play gentle games like fetch

• Simply sit beside him for quiet companionship

His presence uplifts spirits, reduces feelings of loneliness, and helps create a sense of connection and normalcy during a hospital or care stay.
