Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Mabel is a coutesy posting. She is best in a home with one other dog or as an only dog. She does the paw licking often, including when I'm around, so I don't know whether I'd call it separation anxiety. Though, I would say she probably does have that kind of anxiety, too. (?) I think she's also just bored. I have a fairy busy, some might say chaotic, life... and with my change in living situation I just don't see it working out. A home body would be ideal either works from home or retired. Foster needed.
