Mabel

Mabel is the cutest little senior pug/Chihuahua mix. She is estimated to be around 10-11 yrs old and weighs 13 pounds. She is currently taking applications for a wonderful home with doting servants to take care of all her wishes. These include a small midday lunch snack, a comfy bed nearby where you sleep, and all the cuddles she can get.

Despite being a senior and having wobbly knees and arthritis in her back, this gal cannot be slowed down! She loves to be out and about to see the sights and sniff out the news. She loves to shout hello to all the neighborhood dogs and is eager to make friends. Mabel is a happy and bubbly girl, always ready for her next belly rub, rotisserie chicken snack, or neighborhood exploration walk.

She’s a confident gal and has no problem speaking up for herself when she needs something. She is 100% house trained and will let out a little bark when she’s ready to go outside. She considers herself the president of the neighborhood watch and will be sure to alert you of suspicious activity happening in the neighborhood.

She’s quick to make attachments to humans and loves to act as your personal shadow. Indoors, when not being attached at the hip, she enjoys belly rubs, a good nap on a pile of blankets, and a good wrestling match or quick chase with either her human or pet roommates.

She lives comfortably with the other dogs in her foster home, after some initial bossing around on her part to keep them in line. Other dogs should be Ok with a new boss in the house, or she would also be happy as an only dog and have all the attention!

As her confidence builds, she is releasing more of her diva energy. She wants to be the center of attention and doted on as much as possible. If meal time is late, prepare to get the manager because Mabel absolutely has some feedback to give. If other dogs don’t include her in the games, she is happy to play referee. She likes her person around as much as possible, so someone who is retired or works from home would be best for her.

With big doe eyes, thick soft fur, and a beaming smile, she is often told she resembles a teddy bear, and we agree! Mabel is eager to warm up and quickly bond with people. She is ready to lay down her roots and start her next chapter in her forever home. Are you the right fit for this adorable teddy bear starlet?
