About Mabel

Mabel is a 5-year-old, independent Dachshund with a strong personality, weighing in at 13 lbs. She thrives in an adult-only home where her humans understand canine body language and can offer clear boundaries and consistency. Mabel's past has had its challenges; she has had a few incidents where she snapped or attempted to bite, often related to food or being handled. It's essential that her future family is prepared to manage these behaviors patiently and respectfully. Despite her quirks, she's potty trained, healthy, and playful, and she loves being around people. Mabel is also dog-friendly, which means she could share her space with another dog but does not do well with cats or children. As her current owner puts it, “Our goal is to find her a safe, understanding home where she can truly thrive.” If you're experienced and ready for a little challenge, Mabel might just be your perfect match.
