HEADLINER:  MABEL, Cane Corso/Mastiff Mix Young Female  

HISTORY:  Mabel, formerly known as Amethyst, was one of the puppies from the Gemstone litter. She was born on May 5, 2024. Mabel was adopted, however, she was returned, no fault of her own,  due to the family experiencing financial hardships.                    

PERSONALITY:  Mabel is the biggest love bug! She just wants to love on her humans all the time and follow her foster mom, wherever she goes. She loves curling up on the couch at night with her humans and foster siblings. Mabel takes a little to warm up, when meeting new people, especially men, but shortly after she is fine. She is dog friendly and respects cats. She can hang with her cane corso foster brother and great dane foster sister, but does not let them push her around. Mabel is potty trained, crate trained, and knows sit and down. She is very food motivated but needs to learn she can't steal other dogs' food in the house. She walks well on a leash, unless a squirrel passes by. She is truly a big baby and will tell you how much she missed you when you get home. 

FAVORITE ACTIVITIES:  Mabel loves playing with her foster siblings, chasing after balls, and cuddling with her humans. She can not resist a good squeaky toy or antler. 

MEDICAL ISSUES:  None

WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME:  Mabel would do best in a home with other dogs and older children. A family who has the time to work with her and give her as much love as she will give them.
