Mabel is a beautiful, happy golden retriever with a BIG love for people. At 7 years young, she’s the perfect mix of maturity and playful energy. She has her energetic times just as much as she loves curling up next to you for a nap (which she could happily do all day!). And I mean right next to you! No personal space for this girl. 😋
She’s incredibly sweet and affectionate, and truly happiest when she’s with her humans. While she does well with other dogs, cats, and kids in her foster home, her strongest bond is with people. She can be protective of furniture and her humans around other animals, so ongoing supervision and clear boundaries are important. She is also a little unaware of her size, so caution should be used with kids.
Mabel is potty trained with very few accidents, extremely food motivated, and eager to please, which makes her a great candidate for continued training. She’s already learning cues like “sit” and “off.” She’s still working on her manners, including leash pulling and counter surfing, but she’s a smart girl adjusting to structure and consistency after years of never having a real home.
Because she has separation anxiety, Mabel would do best in a home where someone is around more often than not. She’s not a fan of the crate and can become quite stressed (and vocal) when left alone, so a work-from-home setup or a house where someone is home a majority of the time would be best. A fully fenced yard is a must so she can safely enjoy time outside.
Mabel is spayed, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. She is currently being fostered in Lancaster County, PA.
Mabel does need structure, ongoing training, and patience, but she is absolutely worth it. She’s the sweetest, most loyal companion who just wants to be close to her people. If you’re ready to guide her and offer the stable, loving home she’s always deserved, Mabel will happily be your loyal shadow. Please apply at www.zoeshouserescue.com
