View more

r mom could no longer afford her care. She’s being fostered in a home with two young girls, 9 and , and follows them everywhere. She whines when they are not around, and lights up when they come home. She loves to curl up on the floor, bed, or couch with them, and likes being part of a pack. She’s good with other dogs, and lived with a tiny Chihuahua in her prior home. Her foster mom is making sure she gets regular playdates with the neighbor dog to keep her social, and daily walks to help her trim down. Mabel’s energy level depends on the activity at hand. Out in the yard, she loves to play fetch and chase the Frisbee or soccer ball. Inside, when you are reading or watching TV, you’ll find her sleeping on the couch curled up with one of the kids. She housetrained and crate trained, and her foster mom is teaching her to ring a bell to let her people know she needs to go out. She’s still working on her leash walking skills, and walks better with a harness. We are happy to report that daily walks and playtime are helping Mabel lose weight and she’s gaining energy daily. This sweet girl has only been in her foster home about a week, so she’s still settling in. She is a little timid around new people and animals at first, but will warm up quickly. Mabel is extremely snuggly and wants to be around her family all the time. Currently her foster mom is mostly home during the day, so she has a lot of company. At night, she sleeps in her crate with the door open, and they crate her when no one is home just to make sure she stays acclimated. More to come on this lovable pup as she settles in.
