WALDORF, Md., May 12, 2025 — Mabel, a 2-year-old Spaniel mix, is available for adoption at the Charles County Animal Care Center, ready to bring her sweet and snuggly personality to a new home. Described as a friendly and adaptable dog, Mabel is still mastering house training but thrives in a crate and gets along with dogs, cats, chickens, and children ages 1 to 12. The center is open for adoptions Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Mabel’s playful and affectionate nature makes her a great fit for families, farms, or lively households. While she is crate trained and keeps her crate clean, she occasionally mistakes rugs for bathroom spots. A doggie door could help her learn house rules and reduce accidents. “If you’re cool with cuddles, chaos, and carpet cleaner, Mabel is your girl!” the Charles County Animal Care Center shared in a statement promoting her adoption.
The center recommends patience and consistency to help Mabel adjust to her new environment. Her ability to coexist with other pets and young children highlights her versatility. Whether joining a bustling family or a rural setting with animals, Mabel is eager to offer love and companionship.
Adoption Details and Tips
Prospective adopters can visit Mabel during the center’s regular hours. Staff suggest that a home with a doggie door or a clear potty-training routine could set Mabel up for success. Her compatibility with children from toddlers to pre-teens and a variety of animals makes her an ideal candidate for diverse households.
The Charles County Animal Care Center emphasizes that Mabel’s minor house-training challenges are typical for a young dog and can be addressed with guidance. They encourage families prepared for her energetic and cuddly personality to meet her and see if she’s the right match.
