Cat test video
"Hello there, new friends, my name is Mabel and I arrived at the shelter a few months ago. I had a rough start to life, I was a breeding dog and my time at the Rescue has been the first time that I could just be a dog and do dog things. I had no idea how much fun being outside with people and playing could be!
The nice people at the Rescue realized that I had a limp and after some vet visits, they found out I had elbow dysplasia. It was really painful, but I’m tough and just kind of powered through it. Fortunately, once I got to the Rescue my new human friends put me on a great training plan to build up my muscles to help heal my elbow issues. This involved lots of swimming and I absolutely love it! I’ve made such great progress in a short amount of time and can now walk on a leash without issue. I don’t like cats and would do best in a home where I am the only dog. If you do have a dog, that’s not a dealbreaker, but we should really meet first!
I am very affectionate, love scratches, laying on you and your feet, and did I mention swimming? My forever home would definitely have a pool, or access to water so I can keep up my swimming regime, it really has made all the difference for me."
*Mabel is an older dog but is a fast learner, smart, affectionate and eager to please. She is thriving as this is likely the first time in her life she can relax and enjoy herself. Between her swimming and the low dose of medicine she is on, the pain/limp that she arrived with has greatly improved. She truly is a success story and she would make an excellent companion, come meet her today!
