Mabel 10-283 [1]

Hi, my name is Mabel and I'm a 3.5 year old golden retriever mix.  I'm a very lovable girl, enjoying being petted and meeting new people.  So far, I haven't found anyone that I didn't like.   

I arrived last week from Jamestown, ND, and my foster parents are giving me lots of loving and taking me on walks so I can see the neighborhood and check out where all the squirrels live.  You see, that's one of my favorite things to do and I'm good at spotting them, even when they're up in the trees.  I'm tall and lean, weighing in at about 57 pounds.  I need a yard with a high fence because I like to follow the squirrels into the next yards.  I was raised as an outdoor dog, so I prefer to be outdoors.

I love getting treats when I'm learning my basic commands.  I'm such a fast  learner, too. I only had a couple of accidents on the carpet the first day, but I let my foster parents know when I need to go out now. I also love chasing a tennis ball and am getting good at bringing it back.  I'm looking for a forever home where the family is energetic like me and has time to spend with me.  I would prefer older kids as I was too active for the little kids where I used to live and would knock them over in my excitement. 

These are the things I'm looking for in my new home:

A big yard with a high fence
Someone to take me on walks
Maybe another dog that would play with me
Someone to love me as I enjoy people so much
    
Thanks, Mabel
