Mabel

Adult (2 years 4 months) · Female · Belgian Shepherd Malinois / Doberman Pinscher / Mixed (medium coat)

Animal Information:

Mabel is an estimated 2-year-old, 60-pound female Malinois mix who wound up at the shelter as a stray. She had recently had puppies, and the responding officer believed she had been dumped in the area.

When Mabel first arrived, she was very nervous and reserved in her kennel. With a little patience and encouragement from shelter staff, she slowly came out of her shell, and it didn’t take long for everyone to discover that she was actually a total lap dog!

Mabel also did well in playgroups. She started off shy and unsure, but with a little time, she warmed up and began enjoying herself with the other dogs.

When Mabel’s time at the shelter was up, we simply couldn’t say no to giving this sweet girl a chance at the good life here in the PNW. We’re so excited to see her chapter change from survival to the happy, loving life she deserves.

Foster Profile: Mabel is a sweet happy girl looking for an active family to call her own. She does well with other dogs and would be happy for a dog sibling in her forever home but would also be ok without another dog. She loves exploring outside time and would be a great running and hiking buddy. She is working on her obedience and does well in the crate and on leash. She will need an owner with breed experience to continue her training. She would do well in a home with older dog savvy kids. Due to her prey drive we are not considering a home with cats.

Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter (on contract, if applicable), core vaccinations Rabies and DPPV per AVMA standards, any indicated preventative care, microchip with lifetime registration, and recent health check with a veterinarian. Adoption fee may be tax deductible as Dog Gone Seattle is a 501c3 organization (ID 81-5101166).
