Story

Mable is a very cuddly and loving pup. She has energy and loves to play but also loves napping. We are rehoming her because my partner has medical needs and no longer can assist with caring for her and I cannot care for her alone with my full time job and additional part time job. Currently, she is in my solo care full time and is spending all day alone. I am staying up extraordinary hours at night trying to give her the care she needs. I am in desperate need of help and Mable deserves to be in a home that can accommodate her need for consistent love and attention.
