Story
We need to rehome Mabel. She's a 2 year old English Mastiff we raised from a pup. We love her and she loves people. She thinks she's a lap dog and will cuddle with you all the time if she can. Why can't we keep her? She can't get along with one of our other dogs and one of them has to go. She comes with her own bed, food bowl, toys and collar.She knows sit, stay, and come, and walks very well on a leash.
