About Mabel

Meet the beloved Mabel. Mabel has been a wonderful companion to her family but she would be safer in a home without small children. Mabel is sweet and calm at the age of 8. She is happy laying around all day but loves to run and play fetch. She will cuddle and roll over on her back for scratches if she trusts you. She likes most people but takes her time with some. She is an excellent hiking buddy and knows how to heel. She has been on many backpacking trips and enjoys sleeping in a tent. She is leash trained with a no pull harness but does have some leash reactivity. She is extremely food motivated so if you have a treat pouch she can be redirected with some patience. FOOD She is incredibly food motivated and loves to work for a treat. She knows sit, down, off and heel. She knows to go to a place amd stay. She is fully crate trained but is allowed to free roam alone and never destroys anything. She is fully potty trained. She is friendly with most dogs unless they are equally as bossy as she is and wants a stick or ball she wants. She likes to play and chase her siblings. Mabel does great with her siblings and people. She is not friendly with cats and would do best with older children in the home at this time. She is up to date on all preventatives and has been spayed. This has been an incredibly difficult decision for our family. We recently welcomed a baby, and the added stress has been hard on Mabel. She has become more anxious and has reacted in unsafe ways around young children who aren't able to understand or respect her boundaries-showing her teeth, growling, and snapping when she feels overwhelmed-and we feel it's unfair to keep her in an environment where she feels stressed and on edge. We love her so much and are heartbroken, but our priority is making sure she is safe, happy, and able to thrive in a home better suited to her needs. We are committed to finding her a loving home where she can feel secure and continue to be the wonderful companion we know her to be. We have made thoughtful efforts to create a safe and manageable environment, including consistent redirection with treats, working with her on verbal commands, increasing exercise and enrichment, and maintaining strict supervision with baby gates and closed doors. In our small home, constant separation is difficult without isolating Mabel, which feels unfair to her quality of life. Despite these efforts, her reactions around young children have remained unpredictable, and even with careful management we can't confidently say there isn't a risk of her showing teeth, growling, or snapping if she feels overwhelmed. The uncertainty has made it clear that this isn't a safe or fair situation for either our baby or Mabel, which is why we've made this heartbreaking decision.
