About Mabel

Hi there, My name is Mabel, and I'm a 2-year-old, 65-pound black dog with a bright white chest and little white socks on my feet. I may look like a big girl on the outside, but on the inside, I'm a sensitive soul with a huge heart and an even bigger longing for a home where I can finally breathe easy. My family has loved me since I was a wiggly 4-month-old puppy. I adore them-especially my mom. I follow her everywhere, rest my head on her shoulder, and give her the softest eyes. Loving people is my superpower�'�| and sometimes also my struggle. When I was around eight months old, I started feeling like I had to protect my humans and my things. That feeling grew as I got older, and now I sometimes guard them from my dog sisters. To make things more confusing, there are moments when I genuinely love my dog sisters-we play, nap in the same room, or coexist peacefully at times. But then my worry kicks in, and I suddenly feel unsure again. I can change my mind quickly, and that unpredictability isn't fair or safe for any of us, especially my human brother. (Even though I love him dearly). I also sometimes guard items-things I find special or important, even if they're not actually a big deal. A toy, a tissue, a sock�'�| if it feels valuable to me, I get protective. My family has been doing everything they can to keep us all safe, but even with management and love, I can feel overwhelmed by sharing my humans and my space. And honestly�'�| I'm scared that one day I'll make a mistake I can't take back. I don't want to hurt anyone I love. My heart is big, but my fear can be bigger, and my family sees that. That's why they're helping me find a home that's calmer, quieter, and better suited to who I am. To support me, I'm currently taking Prozac, which helps take the edge off and helps me think before reacting. I've also met with 3 dog trainers who also think I'd be a lot happier without other dogs around. Here's a little more about the real me-the me that shines when I feel safe: ��%90%BE My Sweet Side�'۬�'ۢ I give the most soulful, expressive eyes, I adore sun bathing and watching squirrels�'۬�'ۢ I'm silly, playful, and goofy once I trust you�'۬�'ۢ I do an adorable head tilt when you say my name�'۬�'ۢ I'm very smart and love learning�'۬�'ۢ I walk beautifully on leash and enjoy adventures�'۬�'ۢ I'm affectionate, loyal, and love curling up next to my people ��%90%BE My Wish List�'۬�'ۢ A one-pet home where I don't feel torn or pressured�'۬�'ۢ Adults or older teens only�'۬�'ۢ A calm, gentle environment with routine�'۬�'ۢ A dog-savvy human who understands sensitive, loving dogs�'۬�'ۢ Someone who will help me continue training and feeling safe�'۬�'ۢ A home where love is steady, patient, and reassuring and dog savy I truly have so much love to give. In the right home, I know I'll be someone's most devoted companion-the kind of dog who becomes your shadow, your heart, your faithful friend. If you could share my story, offer guidance, or point us toward someone experienced with dogs like me, it would mean the world to me and to the family who loves me enough to let me go. Thank you for taking the time to read about me and for all the kindness you give to dogs every day. With love and a soft, hopeful tail wag,�'۬Mabel ��%90%BE���%A4
