Mebel - Great Dane Dog for Adoption in Bee Cave, Texas

Meet Mabel!
Pet ID 26607
Mabel is a 3-years-old blue merle Great Dane who looks even more beautiful when you meet her in person. . She is sweet, silly, and cuddly - an incredibly loyal girl who just wants to love on you and sleep lounge on the couch.

Mabel loves toys! Shes gone through her toy bin and has picked up everything, trotting around the house squeaking them in her mouth. She will throw them up in the air then lunge onto the couch (though shes so tall it doesnt look like hard work at all). She does not enjoy sharing toys with other dogs though, so if shes playing make sure the toys are for her only!

Mabel has medium energy and will occasionally get "slow zoomies". Because she's such a giant, her zoomies are in slow motion compared to a smaller dog, but she sure looks cute with her version of zoomies! She loves to make sure all her toys are still around after she's had the zooms, then proceeds to pass out on the couch once she's checked in with them all.

When Mabel was in the shelter, she shared a kennel with a medium male dog, but she would do better without another dog in the house because she does not like to share toys. She prefers to play and eat independently, at least initially while she decompresses and learns to trust any dog siblings. she will need a couple to interact with the other dog to build a friendship. If you do have another dog, her foster mom will set up a time to have a meet-and-greet for them both at the shelter to make sure it's a fit and that everyone gets along well! That said, she seems to be curious about her cat sisters and likely will be good with cats (just needs slow exposure and maybe a confident cat!)

Mabel would be a wonderful companion for someone who has had experience with large dogs or someone who understands that there will be a LOOOOT of drool (its her love language). Because shes big, she would love to have some space and a yard, but it's not a dealbreaker if youre in an apartment and she gets to go for walks and play time in a park, so she can stretch her long legs!
