Bulldog, Mabel, seeks forever home after 130 days in charity care
Blue Cross Suffolk is appealing for a new owner for Mabel, a four-year-old bulldog that has been in their care for over four months.
Why it matters: Mabel's long stay highlights the challenges some rescue dogs face in finding suitable homes, especially those with specific needs or from breeds with potential health issues.
The big picture:
- Mabel is described as a "laid-back girl" who enjoys slower-paced walks and playing with toys.
- She needs a patient owner due to occasional wariness around unfamiliar people.
- As a flat-faced breed, Mabel may require special care for potential health issues.
What they're saying: "Mabel is a real homebody, and there's nothing she loves more than spending time in our indoor spaces," said Sadie Hollinsworth, Assistant Manager at Blue Cross in Suffolk.
Details:
- Mabel is toilet trained and settles well in indoor environments.
- She requires a home where she is the only pet, though play dates with social, confident dogs may be possible.
- Blue Cross recommends researching flat-faced breeds before adopting or purchasing.
