About Mabel

Mabel is a gentle spirit who recently spent time on a bench, sitting close to a staff member and gazing at the horizon. Although she appeared hesitant to explore on her own, she enjoyed the staff member's company and accepted gentle pets once outside. This 2-year-old, 46-pound girl tends to freeze when overwhelmed, so a calm environment would suit her well. Mabel needs a patient adopter who can help her navigate outings slowly, ensuring she feels secure near doors and outside. It's important to note that her experience with dogs, cats, and children is unknown, making a thoughtful introduction essential. Adopters will receive support from our team to ease the transition to a new home. All adopted pets come spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Start your journey with Mabel today!
