Hi! My name is Mabel, and I am a 4 year old female Pittie. I was previously in a foster home, and my foster dad had SO much to say about me! Mabel is a rockstar of a dog with high sport prospects (dock diving, disc, flyball, agility)! She's high energy outside the house, loves to train, play, and explore - very smart, and food motivated (hello cheese!); she enjoys the flirt pole, spring pole, and fetch. She relaxes inside the house nicely - respectful of furniture/things, chews on a bone, entertains herself with a toy, and loves to snuggle and roll around in her bed. She is very housebroken, rides well in the car (crated), and shows no signs of separation anxiety (she will whine a bit when you first crate her, but settles after a few mins). She seems appropriately interested and friendly towards my resident dog, but we're doing slow intros on walks and with tie-downs; she's shown some to no interest in dogs behind fences while out on walks. She is friendly with new people, interested in the world around her, and handles novelty well. She has a high prey drive (squirrels be darned!), and is still learning leash manners (she's a puller, but with cheese has great focus on the handler). She came in as a stray, and given her proclivity to jump into my giant walnut tree, and eye my fence line I'm pretty sure I she's an escape artist if she gets bored. She exhibited stress while at the shelter - they described her as jumpy/mouthy with some fence fighting, but that isn't the case outside the shelter. She would make a great addition to most homes - active, engaged, kids over 12, no cats or small animals, other dogs with slow intros and smart management. Who's ready for the ultimate adventure and cuddle buddy?!? Mabel's your gal!
