Introducing Dora!

Grab your backpack and lets GO, says Dora, the little explorer amongst the North Carolina Four! When she and her sisters Fiona and Beatrix and her brother Finn were saved from a North Carolina gassing shelter just 15 minutes before their expiration date, she was the first one to toddle up to her rescuer, ears pricked, tail wagging, all three and a half pounds of her wiggling from head to toe. Dora is the first puppy out of the crate in the morning and the last one in the crate in the evening. She is the first to try anything new and approaches life with a happy, upbeat, I'm-game-for-anything attitude.

Dora and her siblings may (or may not be) German Shepherd/Belgian Tervuren mixes, and as such, her prospective parents should be prepared for her to grow anywhere from 40 to 75 lbs as an adult. Right now, Dora & Co. are still young enough to require three square meals a day, and potty breaks every three hours at least. They are estimated to be about nine weeks old. At their tender age, they need lots of love, attention, and socialization and as they grow, they will need lots of exercise and mental stimulation to keep them from entertaining themselves with your shoes, furniture, and other precious belongings. But if this sounds like just the kind of long term relationship you've been looking for (think 13-16 years), please contact Mabel's Place at mabelsplace@gmail.com for information about applying for Dora- but don't wait, these babies won't be available for long! An application and home visit is required and she will be spayed and UTD on vaccines prior to adoption. Fiona is being fostered in Charleston, SC.
