Story
Introducing Mabusha: A High-Energy, Loyal Retriever Mix Ready for Her Forever HomeMeet Mabusha, a 1-year, 7-month-old Retriever mix with a big personality, a strong spirit, and an even bigger heart. Mabusha is a sweet, spunky girl who’s full of energy and ready for adventure—but she’s also still learning the ropes when it comes to manners and boundaries. If you`re an experienced dog owner who can offer structure, training, and plenty of love, Mabusha might just be your perfect match.Currently living with another dog named Karuppy, Mabusha has shown she can live with another dog, but she isn’t naturally dog-social and will need slow, patient introductions to any new canine friends. She’s also not a fan of cats, so a feline-free home is a must. Personality & Training NeedsMabusha is high-energy, food-motivated, and always ready to go. She loves walks, is eager to explore the world, and is always on the lookout for her next snack or adventure.

She may be happiest as the only pet or with a well-matched, tolerant dog who shares her energy level.No Cats, Please!Mabusha has a high prey drive and has failed her cat test, so she should not be placed in a home with cats or small animals.Escape Artist AlertMabusha is clever and determined—she’s been known to test fences and find her way out of enclosures that aren’t secure. Her new family will need to ensure that their yard or home setup is escape-proof to keep her safe. A secure fence and supervision are must-haves.Ideal HomeMabusha is looking for an active, experienced home that can meet her energy needs while helping he
