Mabel/Scooby

I was a brand new volunteer at Friends for Life and I decided to foster a puppy.

The first time I saw Mabel she growled at me. I brought her home anyway and fostered her for approx. 4 weeks until she was ready for adoption. When I started bringing her to the shelter for adoption she was just so naughty when anyone approached her. I would try to explain to families "she doesn't act like this at home, I swear! " She was such a sweetie at home and was very bonded to my husband and I. I decided after 6 weeks or so that she just wouldn't let herself be adopted because she had chosen us to be her forever home. A bumper sticker a good friend gave me says it all "my best friend rescued me". Rescue dogs are just the best! We renamed her Scooby and she continues to be joy in our lives!. She now plays foster Mom to other puppies we bring in to our home.
