Mabel

My story

Mabel’s story began at a local park, where she was likely abandoned and left terrified of the world around her. For more than a week, she survived on her own—running off anytime someone came near. At first, even when food was offered, she wouldn’t eat until everyone had walked far away.Day by day, her courage slowly grew. She began coming a little closer. And after days of gentle consistency—watching from a distance as dogs passed by—Mabel finally found the bravery to step out and say hello.Once she did, her true personality shined.Mabel is a sweet, submissive, and playful young pup (around 8–10 months old). She’s fully potty trained, crate trained, and absolutely loves being close to her people. She’s the kind of dog who will follow you from room to room and happily snuggle up right beside you.After being dumped, Mabel is still rebuilding her confidence outside the home—but she’s learning every day, and with a little patience and TLC, she continues to blossom.
