Meet Mabel
Breed: Shepherd x
Barking from: Auckland
What's up dog?
Mabel makes everyone laugh every day, except the courier guy. She gets a more enthusiastic welcome than her mum on arrival and never fails to raise moral (and all the bins off the floor cos shes a thief). She helps tidy up, makes sure everyone has no leftover food, and carries the post, her water bowl, packing boxes and anything else that happens to be at Mabel height. Although a rescue with a few foibles and traumas she is working through (just ask the courier guy), she is cheeky and smart and we all love her to bits.
