Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (short coat). Adoption Fee: xxx. Mabel is a Courtesy Post Only and is not a Second Chance Dog Rescue dog. SCDR is not responsible for any ownership, behavior, health, and representations made by the owner with respect to this dog. You must contact Victoria at (410) 999-4183 or Morgan at (443) 842-0144 (call or text) for further information or to meet Mabel. Mabel (affectionately known as “Big Mama”) is an 11-year-old, 70-lb Pit Bull mix with a heart of gold. She’s a sturdy, rotund senior gal who’s as mellow as they come—but don’t let her age fool you! Mabel still enjoys her daily walks, car rides, and soaking up the sun. She’s incredibly sweet, kid-friendly, and gets along very well with other dogs. Her story is heartbreaking: After her original owner passed away, Mabel ended up briefly in a temporary home, but was surrendered when that caretaker developed allergies. Being an older dog, she was placed on the red list at a kill shelter. Thankfully, she was pulled just in time—and now we’re determined to make sure she never sets paw in a shelter again. Her foster says, “She’s a perfect older girl—goofy, loving, and full of warmth. She deserves a soft landing for her golden years.” Mabel is spayed, up to date on all vaccinations, and had flying colors at her senior wellness check. So far, she’s shown no signs of health or behavioral issues. For more information or to meet Mabel, please contact Victoria at (410) 999-4183 or Morgan at (443) 842-0144 (call or text).

Overview:
The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) is a robust and intelligent breed, originating in the United States from crossbreeding Old English Terriers and Old English Bulldogs for dog-fighting purposes. Physically, they are medium-sized, known for their muscular build, broad heads, and powerful jaws, typically weighing between 30-60 pounds. Their coats are short and come in a wide array of colors. Temperamentally, a well-socialized APBT is often described as loyal, affectionate, and people-oriented, displaying a playful and sometimes clownish demeanor. They can be excellent family companions, provided they receive consistent training and early socialization, though their high energy levels mean they thrive with active owners. While they can adapt to apartment living with sufficient exercise, a house with a secure yard is often preferred. Notable health considerations include a predisposition to hip and elbow dysplasia, allergies, and certain heart conditions.
