Story
***Fostered in Canton, OH*** ABOUT ME… My name is Mabel… I was rescued from a puppy mill and COPAW says that I am on my way to paradise next! I am not your typical puppy mill doggie. In fact, I am quite social! I bond quickly with people and love to follow a human around. I would do best in a home with another doggie to help me learn from. I AM GREAT WITH… -People, dogs, and cats! -Walking on a leash. I AM STILL WORKING ON… -Housebreaking. I never learned this in the puppy mill. While I love to go on walks, I haven’t quite connected that I can/should go potty on them. I prefer to go at my leisure in a fenced-in yard. I REQUIRE… -Another dog in the home. -A fenced-in yard. ___ VETTING... ~All animals in our care are spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (age 1 & up), given preventatives, and provided with initial vaccinations AT MINIMUM. ~If booster shots have not been completed prior to adoption, they may be completed at our clinic in Columbus, OH at no additional expense. Alternatively, the adopter can use their own vet to boost vaccinations, at their own expense.

Papillon fun facts

Fun Facts:

Marie Antoinette awarded this breed its name, as they were her favorite breed of dog and she referred to her dog as her "Petite Papillon."

The erect ear "butterfly" type of Papillon did not become fashionable until the end of the 19th century; it has remained the more popular type of Papillon to this day. However, the drop-eared "Phalene" variety is experiencing a resurgence in popularity.

Papillons were used as vermin-catchers. Because of their small size, they adopted an interesting way in which to catch and kill rats: they would bait them and tease them until exhaustion, enabling them to make their finishing move.
