PetHarbor.com: Animal Shelter adopt a pet; dogs, cats, puppies, kittens! Humane Society, SPCA. Lost & Found.

Hiya, I'm Mabel, a 1 year old petite sized girl in search of a loving family. Sadly, I was abandoned by my previous family in the parking lot of the shelter. Lucky for me, the staff here are really nice and they brought me inside, gave me a warm bed and some yummy food. I was pretty scared at first, the shelter is noisy and there are a lot of new and strange things. My volunteers tell me I am doing a good job being a big girl and have started to trust and show my true personality. I spent some time in the play yard today and even had the zoomies - boy was that fun! I am pretty mellow and really just want to be snuggled up next to my humans. I met some kitty cats, they don't look super fun, so I walked away and then I met a friend named Goober and he was super nice and looked like he is a lot of fun. My volunteer told me the way I said hello to Goober was very good and that with a slow, proper introduction, she's sure I will do well with another dog. At 41 lbs, I am the perfect sized girl for just about any lifestyle. CHECK OUT MY VIDEOS and please come meet me!
Please remember that the shelter is a stressful environment; many dogs come to Front Street as strays without any known history. While staff and volunteers do their best to learn about each dog, behavior in the shelter is not always the same as behavior in a home. Keeping the 3/3/3 Decompression Rule in mind is important. Three days for initial decompression, three weeks to learn the routines of your household, and three months to start to feel relaxed and safe in the home. When you adopt, foster, or are a new pet parent, it's especially important to consider.
