Mabel

Mabel is a little over 8 months old and now weighs close to 40lbs. <br/>House and crate trained. <br/>Shy<br/>When Mabel & her 2yo mother were initially rescued, Mabel was only 6 months old and weighed 17lbs.<br/>It’s unclear how long they were on their own. Unfortunately, Mabel's mother passed away a few days after their rescue. And if that wasn't enough for a severely underweight 6 month old puppy to have to endure, the severity of Mabel's malnutrition required ongoing subcutaneous fluids, weeks of monitoring as well as a blood transfusion and she almost lost her life twice. Even when her story started to change once stabilized and she got to be taken home to be fostered by one of our best TMH Fosters in SC, Mabel still had weeks of meditations, supplements & special diet that no puppy would enjoy as well as meeting more "new to her so scary people", new smells, new dogs & cats, ect. to have to navigate all by herself.<br/><br/>Sharing Mabel's story as a reminder that some of our rescued dogs may look strong and healthy in pictures but for some it took an entire village to get them here. It is so important to find the perfect family for her the first time & Mabel most likely will only have introductions at private meets not larger, sometimes loud & busy events. Mabel will need a person or people who will be patient, understanding & know that their initial investment will yield a remarkable, loving dog who is exceptionally intelligent, loyal & just brave. She just needs to know she is safe. Mabel is healthy now physically, has been moved around a bit but also she missed out on some teaching moments early on and will need some guidance along the way. So please consider this when thinking about her to for adoption.<br/><br/>Mabel is definitely a fighter & ready for her next chapter!
