Meet Mabel

A Labrahair? A Wiredor? Labrapointer? Whatever you want to call this gorgeous wire haired lab mix, Mabel is quite the catch!! Please read everything below to see if she’s the right fit for your home.

Mabel is a blonde beauty who's sure to turn heads wherever she goes! At 6.5 years old and a perfectly petite 47 lbs, Mabel is the ideal companion for anyone looking for a dog who will be all about them. Her absolute favorite activity? Snuggling up with her humans and soaking up as many belly rubs as she can get. Mabel is the epitome of sweetness and affection, always ready to share her love and warmth. If you're looking for a devoted, loving dog who will fill your days with cuddles and companionship, Mabel is your girl!

Mabel is well past the puppy stage, which means no more silly shenanigans. She’s a mature lady, perfectly housebroken, who's ready for a forever home filled with love and stability. Her loving nature makes her the perfect candidate for anyone looking for a doting companion. Mabel would thrive as the only pet, soaking up all the attention and love for herself. She can be fear reactive with other dogs.

Life hasn't been easy for Mabel. She’s been through a lot, losing her family and landing in an overcrowded shelter. Then, she thought she found a great home but it wasn’t the right fit. We are determined to find Mabel her person. Could you be the one?

We have learned a lot about Mabel in the last few months. And one of the key things we’ve learned is that Mabel has the heart of a protector. Which is a great trait for someone looking for a loyal guardian. But not so great if you like to host dinner parties or have the neighborhood kids over to play.

If you have a low traffic home without a lot of new people in and out, Mabel will be quite comfortable. She loves nothing more than long days spent with her favorite humans. On the flip side, if your home is a revolving door of family and friends coming for visits, Mabel is going to be very nervous and might not make your guests feel very welcome. She will need an adopter who is experienced with dogs and can help Mabel overcome her anxiety when it comes to people she isn't familiar with.

Her current home has a child and Mabel is great with him, but unfortunately she is nervous around other children which is why we are now looking for a kid-free home. We need to find a home where Mabel's protective nature is appreciated, so she can thrive in a home that doesn't require her to have a big social network. It's a big ask, but we think she's worth the search!!

One thing we can all agree on, this precious pup deserves her happy ending in a loving home. We need a family to step up with her asap as time is running out where she is at!!
