Story
We are currently on a transport all the way up in OR, and will be traveling back through NorCal. Mabel's adoption unfortunately fell through due to no fault of her own! We are sharing her in hopes that maybe we will find her a good home before heading back into SoCal. We will be in OR between 4/28-4/29, and will be traveling through NorCal the evening of 4/29 through 4/30. If it works out that we are able to find her an amazing home, GREAT!! If not, that's okay too because we do these transports monthly and will be back up in May 💕
Meet our sweet girl Mabel 💕
Approximate Birthday: 9/25/25
Weight: 15 lbs (as of 04/15/26)
Mabel is something truly special 💗
As the only girl of the trio, she carries herself a little differently. There is a quiet strength in her, a calmness that feels far beyond her age. She is my observer… always close by, watching, taking everything in, making sure she feels safe and secure before stepping into anything new.
She is beautifully independent. While her brothers find comfort in being close to one another, Mabel is perfectly content in her own space. She sleeps peacefully through the night in her crate on her own, completely at ease.
There is a wisdom in her… a calm, collected presence that makes you pause and really see her. And then, just when you least expect it, her puppy side comes out and you see that playful spark, especially when treats are involved 😊
Mabel is a poodle/cocker spaniel mix with a soft hypoallergenic coat, and we expect her to be around 18–20 lbs full grown.
Her story, like her brothers, is one rooted in love and loss. Her previous owner had been battling cancer quietly and, after reaching remission, chose to bring joy back into her life. She went to bring home one puppy, but her heart couldn’t leave the other two behind… so she brought all three home, creating a family for herself.
Tragically, her remission did not last, and when her cancer returned, it came back aggressively. She passed away in her home, and a kind neighbor stepped in immediately to make sure the puppies were safe. Working with the owner’s daughter, who was unable to take them, she ensured they would find their way to a safe and loving place… which led them to us.
Mabel has had all of her vetting restarted from the beginning. She has received multiple DA2PP vaccines, two Bordetella vaccines, and her rabies vaccine. Her fecal test came back negative, she is microchipped, and has had a full veterinary exam with a health certificate ready for her future family.
She has not yet been spayed, as we recommend waiting until 10–12 months of age for proper development. She will go home on a spay contract.
She is doing wonderfully with house training on a consistent 2–3 hour schedule and has kept our home accident free. She is crate trained, sleeps peacefully through the night, and does great on car rides.
Mabel is great with other dogs, wonderful with cats, and gentle with men, women, and children alike. She does well with grooming, bath time, and loves water 💦
Leash training will be new for her, but with patience, consistency, and a treat pouch, she will do very well.
Mabel is for someone who appreciates a softer, quieter soul… a dog who will bond deeply, observe the world with you, and love you in the most steady and genuine way 💗
