Meet Nobel, one of the nine beautiful puppies in our Bell Litter — a gorgeous, happy little fellow with a placid nature, playful spirit and one rather special distinguishing feature.
Nobel has been kissed by an angel! ❤️
Just look at the little dot on top of his head. We'd like to think an angel left that tiny kiss there especially for him!
Nobel was the second biggest puppy in the litter and is expected to grow into a substantial lad.
❤️ A HAPPY, GOOD-NATURED BOY
Nobel is a lovely combination of placid and playful. He's a cheerful, easy-going puppy who enjoys joining in the fun with his littermates but is equally happy soaking up affection and attention.
Raised in a loving foster home alongside his eight brothers and sisters, Nobel has enjoyed plenty of handling, companionship and socialisation.
He's a friendly, well-adjusted little fellow who is simply a delight to have around.
🏡 NOBEL'S IDEAL HOME
Nobel would suit a family looking for an affectionate, good-natured companion who will grow into a fairly large dog.
He'll need secure fencing, companionship, regular exercise and a family committed to continuing his training and socialisation.
His placid, happy disposition makes him a lovely prospect for family life, including a home with children who understand how to interact safely with a growing puppy.
🐾 ABOUT THE BELL LITTER
Nobel is one of nine puppies — seven boys and two girls — born to their lovely young mum, Bell (pictured).
Bell is a sweet-tempered Bull Arab girl, quite small for her breed. She's been a gentle, attentive mum and has passed on her lovely nature to her babies.
We suspect the father may have been a Boxer or Bulldog. Several of the boys have naturally stumpy tails and brindle patches, while others, including Nobel, are developing into substantial puppies. Without confirmed parentage, this remains our best assessment.
✂️ DEFERRED DESEXING
Nobel is offered for adoption under ARK's Deferred Desexing Program, with desexing to take place when age appropriate in accordance with his adoption contract. The cost is included in the adoption fee, subject to terms and conditions.
🌏 INTERSTATE ADOPTIONS
We welcome interstate applications and can assist with suitable transport options and arrangements. Distance need not be a barrier to the right home.
