Story
WARNING: Mabel Does Not Come With an Off Switch.
Basset people... you know exactly what were talking about.
If you've been looking for a fun-sized basset with all the charm, stubbornness, noise, and nonsense the breed is famous for, allow us to introduce Miss Mabel.
2 years old
54 lbs.
Red & white
Low-rider model with deluxe ears and upgraded personality package
Mabel arrived as a stray from a local shelter and were still trying to understand how nobody came looking for her. She is basically a living cartoon.
She has all the classic basset features:
Selective hearing
Olympic-level sniffing abilities
Dramatic facial expressions
Sudden bursts of chaos followed by a 3-hour nap
The belief that every human should be paying attention to her
And unlike some bassets that arrive in economy-crushing sizes, Mabel is a slightly more compact version. Still plenty of hound. Just easier to fit on your couch.
A few things prospective adopters should know:
Mabel does not have an inside voice.
You will play with her.
These are not requests.
She believes ears are a community resource. Your ears. Other dogs ears. If it has ears, Mabel may investigate them... or occasionally chew on them.
Ignoring her is not a long-term strategy.
At her grooming/boarding foster home she's also demonstrated talents in:
Sweeping hair piles using her entire body
Quality-control testing of dog beds through strategic destuffing
Keeping everyone entertained whether they asked for entertainment or not
She's social, playful, clean in her area, and happiest when life includes people, activity, and a good game.
Mabel is seeking a foster, foster-to-adopt home, adopter, or potentially a breed rescue placement (though we know most basset rescues are currently operating on caffeine, hope, and borrowed time).
The good news? She's fully vetted and ready to go.
If your house feels a little too quiet, your dog needs a playmate, or you've been missing that special kind of hound-induced chaos that only basset lovers understand...
Mabel may be your girl.
