About Mabel

Mabel is a spirited 2-year-old Malinois mix weighing around 60 pounds who found herself at the shelter after a tough start as a stray. Initially, she felt quite nervous and reserved in her kennel, but with some gentle encouragement from the shelter staff, she quickly revealed her true nature: a loving lap dog who craves companionship. In playgroups, Mabel began a journey from shyness to joy. At first unsure of herself, she soon joined in the fun with the other dogs, showcasing her friendly spirit. We couldn’t resist giving this sweet girl a chance at a better life here in the Pacific Northwest. She's ready to transition from survival to a happy, loving home where she can truly thrive.
