My name is Mabel and I am a 13 month old female chihuahua/shitzu mix and I will do best in an dog-only home. I do get along with cats as long as they stay away from my food so my pet parent would need to monitor my feeding times. I do not have food aggression (I am a little on the chubby side) but I just don’t want the cats eating my dinner! I love socks and can be found carrying them around most of the day. (I don’t eat them I just like to carry them.) I am learning so many things: to stay off the furniture, how to sit, how to come when called, and wear a harness and leash. I love walks but my leash scares me sometimes. I am good with kids; I play with a little girl now and we are 2 peas in a pod. I am crate trained and a very good watch dog. Nothing gets by me! I am a little shy, so if you want to meet me, you will need to stay for a little bit. That way, my true personality can be observed.
