Mabel - 1 year old Boxer X Staffie female

Mabel, Boxer X Staffie, DOB 14.02.11- Gatwick, Surrey


Homing Requirements: Mabel needs a confident home who will love Mabel and support her with her nerves around other dogs. She also needs management around lead play but chain lead suffices currently. She needs to be an only pet so she can relax and soak up all the love going. Secure garden with exit management as ever.

Her Story: Mabel was homed as a 5 month old pup in with an older male Staffie and a cat. Her owners were having problems and tried to rehome Mabel. Their dogs had a fight, neither needing vet care but Mabel was taken to the vets to be put to sleep as the owners couldn't cope with the 2 dogs any more. Instead of putting her to sleep they paid to have her spayed, 1st vax'd and chipped. Mabel is in boarding kennels hoping for a family to love.

Advert: Mabel is unusual looking; her stunning folds and globe nose lead you to Boxer (particularly her red and white fur patterning) or Sharpei with Staffie?. She is a small Boxer bitch size, strong and needs an experienced handler as she plays with her lead. We always advise against 'tug of war', so a chain lead is distracting her currently, which isn’t that difficult. She is very connected with her walker, very affectionate and proving to walk alongside other dogs well and respectfully.

Mabel is about 18" to the shoulder. Red coat with a black tinge at the ends of her fur, bold white around her neck and knee length socks. Her face, wow amazing look, with soulful eyes particularly at the moment in her hour of need. Mabel’s need is a family to love … she is still a baby and needs nurturing and to belong.
