Keep scrolling.<br/><br/>Do you like a dog who sleeps in, waits patiently for you to wake up, and believes mornings should be taken slowly? Mabel could be your girl.<br/><br/>Meet Mabel, a senior, deaf Boxer mix weighing about 45 pounds and fully committed to a relaxed lifestyle. Mabel will happily softly snore until you are ready to get up<br/><br/>Mabel loves sleeping in bed with her people, and while she’s very happy to be there, she will need a little help getting in and out of bed. Once she’s settled, she’s not going anywhere—except maybe deeper into dreamland.<br/><br/>Mabel came into rescue under heartbreaking circumstances. She was abandoned by the senior minister at Highway Christian Church in Bethany when he moved away, leaving her behind and vulnerable to coyotes. Despite that betrayal, Mabel still believes people can be good and is ready for a soft place to land.<br/><br/>She does great with other dogs and prefers calm companions. Mabel has osteoarthritis in her front elbows, which have been fully evaluated with X-rays and a CT scan at BluePearl Des Moines. Because of this, her exercise needs are minimal. <br/><br/>Being deaf doesn’t slow Mabel down one bit. She’s observant, gentle, and incredibly easy to live with. Her ideal home is one that values cozy nights, slow mornings, and unconditional love.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a sweet, snoring, bed-sharing couch potato who will happily match your pace, Mabel is ready to move in.<br/><br/>Mabel is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested, and microchipped.

Fur Fun Rescue's Adoption Policy
Our dogs are all in foster homes. We require a completed application prior to meeting one of our dogs. The adoption application is on our website: furfunrescue.org. Once the application is received, we check the veterinarian reference if you have or have had pets. Then we contact you to set up a time to meet the dog. If, after meeting the dog you want to proceed with an adoption, we will run a background check, call personal references, and do a home visit. We always introduce our dog to any current pets. The final step is completing the adoption contract.
