Mabel the Rescue Dog

Our New Foster Dog Needed Us

August 26, 2024

Hi everyone, it’s Mabel. If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you know that I used to post about our foster dogs all the time. But life gets busy sometimes for humans, so Molly hasn’t been able to foster as frequently as she’d like. That’s also why I don’t make general posts on here as often – we just don’t have time do it all the time. But we recently welcome our 24th foster dog into our home, so I wanted to hop on here and tell everyone about how it’s going.

Our new foster dog is named Toad. Toad is a 5-year-old Yorkie mix who came from a bad breeding situation, like many of our other foster dogs. Poor Toad is tiny – only about 7 pounds right now! While Yorkies are usually tiny dogs, Toad is very underweight. Molly says you can easily feel all his little bones when petting him.

Even though Toad is a puppy mill dog, he’s pretty friendly. He fell in love with Molly right away, and he really wanted to play with me. He kept running around me and getting close to my face, which I didn’t like. I was worried he would be too playful for me, but once he realized that I don’t like to play with other dogs, he learned to give me space. Now, we coexist just fine.

Since Toad has likely never been in a home environment before, he’s slowly learning how to be a dog. He didn’t understand what a leash was, but he now loves walks and gets excited to go. He wasn’t eating much of his food at first, which isn’t good because he really needs to gain weight. But Molly has been adding bone broth to his food to make it more appealing, and now he’s eating it all up and getting healthier. I wish Molly would give me bone broth and treats as often as Toad… I understand he needs them more than me, but I just really love treats.

The one thing that’s unusual about Toad is that he kind of sounds like a toad. When he gets overly excited, the poor pup makes a croaking sound when he breathes. It’s a really weird sound to hear coming from a dog. The vet said he has a collapsing trachea, which sounds really bad, but apparently, he can still live a normal life with proper management.

So, Toad might not be in the best shape, but he seems like a wonderful dog. I may not like sharing the attention with another dog, but I’m glad that we’re helping him find his forever family. He really needed someone to take him in and give him love, and I think Molly was the perfect person to help him.

Here are My Favorite Dog Products!

June 27, 2024

Hi everyone, it’s Mabel! As you might have noticed, I recently added a list of products to the sidebar of my site. These are affiliate links, so if someone purchases something on Amazon after clicking them, we’ll earn some money at no additional cost to you. We set this up because Molly is also using affiliate links on her other site, Mutts About Pets. When she earns money on there, she’ll donate a portion of the profits to animal organizations. Anything earned from the links on my site will also go toward that.

So, I just wanted to take a moment to explain the products I chose and why they’re my favorites! Don’t worry, this will be the only post with affiliate links. While Molly loves having them on the other site, we don’t feel the need to use them much on this site because this blog is mostly about rescue topics, not products.

Mabel the Rescue Dog is reader-supported. When you shop through links on this page, we may earn an affiliate commission at no cost to you.

Whimzees Dog Dental Chews

Unfortunately, dental care is a necessary part of keeping dogs healthy. But I hate getting my teeth brushed. Molly brushes my teeth regularly, but she also gives me these treats. I love the taste of Whimzees and they’re so much fun to throw around before I eat them. I get so excited to eat them that I don’t even realize they’re good for my teeth. The extra-small ones are the perfect size for me, but they come in a variety of sizes and shapes so all dogs can enjoy them.

Buddy Biscuits Training Treats

In case you couldn’t already tell, I love treats so much! Yet, Molly doesn’t like to give me too many treats because she says it’s not healthy for me. So, she always has some training treats like these so I can get rewarded for training without gaining weight. They only have 1.5 calories per treat, so I can eat lots of them during a training session. Plus, the flavor is delicious! I have the chicken one right now, but the beef and bacon treats are also great.

Zesty Paws Hip & Joint Supplements

When Molly first handed one of these to me, I thought it was just a normal tasty treat. However, these “treats” are actually supplements that benefit my hips and joints. Even though I’m a senior dog, I haven’t faced any joint problems yet. But once canine arthritis develops, it can’t be completely treated. So, it’s best to use products like this to prevent joint problems from occurring. And your dog won’t even know they’re taking a supplement because it tastes, looks, and feels just like a treat. Before giving your dog any new supplements, I always advise talking to your vet first.

Outward Hound Hide a Squirrel Puzzle Toy

Of course, treats are my favorite, but I also love toys, especially squeaky toys. Toys like this one are unique because they require you to hide squeaky toys inside a bigger toy. So, if Molly squeaks one of the squirrels, I have to figure out how to get them out of the tree. It’s a fun puzzle toy that’s great for my mental stimulation. Dogs can get bored just like humans can, so I believe all dogs should have some puzzle toys to play with.

Multipet Hedgehog Toys

Finally, here’s another toy I love. I’m not sure why, but I love hedgehog toys. They usually make really fun squeaking sounds and there are so many of them out there. If you’re looking for a simple plush toy for your dog, this one is lots of fun. Plus, it comes in a pack of three so you will have extras in case your dog destroys one.

Those are just a few of my favorite dog products. So, if you’re looking for any snacks or toys for your pup, consider some of the ones above. And if you click on any of the links before buying something on Amazon, you’re helping support us!

Save Our Dogs is Out Now!

June 18, 2024
Hi everyone, it’s Mabel! I’m so excited to announce that my human, Molly Weinfurter, released her first book today. It’s called Save Our Dogs, and I have a feeling my readers will love it since you’re all dog people.

What is Save Our Dogs?

Save Our Dogs is a fictional book that Molly wrote for middle grade readers (9+), but adults can enjoy it too! It tells the story of a young girl whose parents run a puppy mill. At first, she doesn’t understand that anything is wrong because that’s all she has ever known. But as she learns more and experiences more about dogs, she realizes that her parents aren’t treating their dogs well. So, she comes up with a plan to save the dogs.

Molly wrote this book as a fun way to educate more people about puppy mills. There are still so many people who don’t know what puppy mills are and end up supporting them unknowingly. Kids often beg their parents for a dog, so that’s why it’s important for kids to learn about this topic too. Molly hopes that this book will teach more people about the topic in a way that’s easy for all ages to understand.

Where is Save Our Dogs Available for Purchase?

Save Our Dogs came out today, June 18th! For the first month (until July 18th), Molly will donate $1 for every book sold to JRs Pups-N-Stuff, which is the rescue I was adopted from. She also fosters for them sometimes, and she has fostered many puppy mill survivors through that rescue. So, she wants to donate some of the profits so she can help more dogs in need with her book. She may continue donating after the first month, but she’s just going to start with that for now and see how it goes.

Save Our Dogs is available at several online retailers, including:
If you’re interested in reading it but can’t buy it now, please add it to your to-read list on Goodreads so you don’t forget about it.

Thank you to everyone who has supported my human throughout her writing journey. This book is the first of many, so if you enjoy Save Our Dogs, don’t worry, there are more books coming!

Beware of Fake Emotional Support Animal Sites

May 30, 2024

3 min read (Articles narrated by Mabel)

Molly has frequently been seeing ads for fake emotional support animal sites, especially in ads on YouTube. These types of ads make her angry because they spread false information about emotional support animals (ESAs) and encourage people to get ESAs even if they don’t need them. This makes things harder for humans that actually need ESAs. So, I wanted to make a post to remind everyone what the difference between a real ESA and a fake one is.

What Makes These Emotional Support Animal Sites Fake?

ESAs are very different from service dogs. They do not have the same rights as service dogs and they aren’t trained to complete specific tasks. However, many ads for fake emotional support animal sites make it sound like you can take your dog anywhere if they’re a certified ESA. That’s not true. ESAs generally aren’t allowed in public spaces that aren’t pet-friendly.

The benefits that ESAs get (besides providing comfort to their humans) are that they can stay at rental properties without their humans having to pay a pet fee. They’re often allowed in rental properties that normally wouldn’t be pet-friendly too. They may be allowed for free on airlines, but fewer airlines are allowing that because, unfortunately, many people abused the system and brought fake ESAs on. For details on where ESAs are allowed versus service dogs, check the ADA’s Requirements.

Thus, ESAs cannot go to grocery stores or other non-pet-friendly shops despite what these fake ESA ads claim. However, those aren’t the only false claims these sites make.

These sites usually give you an ESA certification for a fee. Yet, a real ESA shouldn’t require any fee, and instead, it involves a doctor’s recommendation. So, if you get your dog registered on one of these sites, you’re just paying for a fake certification that most landlords and airlines won’t accept if they know anything about ESAs.

How Does Someone Get a Real ESA?

You should only get an ESA if you actually need one for a medical reason. Anxiety, depression, and learning disabilities are just a few reasons humans might benefit from an ESA. If you think you need one, talk to a medical professional, and they can determine if you would benefit from an ESA. They will provide you with a note to let landlords know that your pet is an ESA.

As far as I know, that’s it. There’s no need to pay for any certificates or vests. Humans who do that are only getting scammed by fake ESA companies. And, if they don’t really need an ESA, they’re making things harder for the humans that actually do. Sadly, many people don’t take ESAs seriously because so many people have fake ones.

Next time you see a fake ESA ad come up, don’t be fooled. Those are not legitimate ways to get ESAs, and if your dog is an ESA, you still can’t take them everywhere. As a dog, I would love to go everywhere with my human, but I understand that’s not right. Also, if you know anyone who’s thinking about giving money to one of these fake ESA sites, please make sure they know the truth.

ESAs can be wonderful, but only if the person actually needs one and isn’t just abusing the system.

Are All Organizations on Petfinder Legit?

May 6, 2024

3 min read (Articles narrated by Mabel)

When people ask how to find a dog to adopt, Molly recommends Petfinder.com. Petfinder is a database of many shelters and rescues, so you can easily search for dogs based on your location. You can also set certain preferences for your search, such as ages, breeds, and sizes. We love Petfinder because it’s an easy way for humans to look at adoptable dogs from a variety of shelters and rescues without needing to go to each individual organization’s website.

However, not everyone on the internet is trustworthy. Puppy mills are known for selling their puppies online and there are fake rescues, so is it possible for scammers to show up on Petfinder? I have never seen or heard of any fake rescues on the site, but I decided to do a little more research to find out what it takes for an organization to get approved.

How Does Petfinder Verify Organizations?

Luckily, Petfinder has a system in place to make sure rescues and shelters are legit before letting them add dogs on their site. According to this article on Petfinder, the verification process starts with Petfinder having an in-depth conversation with the organization to find out more about them. Then, they request a veterinary reference to ensure that the dogs at the organization are getting proper care. The goal of this process is to ensure that the organization is actually trying to find good homes for every dog instead of trying to make a profit off selling dogs.

So, based on that information, I’d say that all the organizations on Petfinder are legit. Not just anyone can post a dog for adoption, which can eliminate people doing it for the wrong reasons. That being said, it’s always a good idea to research an individual organization yourself before adopting from them. Even if they’re a legit organization, there’s a possibility that they’re not someone you want to support, and that’s okay. Everyone has different preferences when it comes to how rescues and shelters should operate.

Of course, even with this process in place, you should research the organization yourself too. On any site, there’s a small risk of bad people like puppy mills cheating the system, so it’s good to proceed with caution no matter where you search. If you do happen to stumble upon a seemingly fake organization on Petfinder, please let Petfinder know.

Find Your Next Pet on Petfinder!

As always, I highly recommend Petfinder for anyone looking to adopt a pet. There are lots of dogs on there, but there are also also other animals like cats, guinea pigs, and lizards. Petfinder makes it easy to search for animals that need a home, and it doesn’t include any breeders. Thus, you can feel good knowing you’re adopting a rescue animal. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, either increase your location distance or be patient. There are new animals looking for homes every day, so the perfect pet for you will likely come around eventually.

Keep in mind that this site is only about Petfinder.com. I don’t know how legit other pet-finding sites are, so if you find an adoptable animal elsewhere, please research that site and make sure it’s legit. Puppy mills frequently sell through websites, which is why it’s so important to be cautious when choosing a place to get a new dog from.

5 Reasons Why You Should Keep Your Cat Indoors

April 22, 2024

3 min read (Articles narrated by Mabel)

I’m a dog, not a cat. But I do know some stuff about cats. I know that some humans keep their cats indoors only while others let them outside now and then. A few of our neighbor cats hang out outside, and I’ve seen some of them in my yard before. I’m very curious about them and love to sniff them, but I understand that there are many reasons why letting cats outside isn’t a good idea.

Of course, cats love to explore, so I think that’s why many humans let them outside. However, the negatives seem to greatly outweigh the positives, so let’s talk about them.

Injury or Death

Sadly, when cats can roam around freely, there’s a high risk of them getting hurt or killed. Cars, wild animals, and sharp objects are all things that could severely harm your cat outside. I’ve seen dead cats on the side of the road, and it’s heartbreaking. No cat should have to die that way and no cat parent should have to live with that tragedy.

Increased Risk of Diseases

It’s easier for your cat to contract diseases and parasites outside than in the comfort of your home. Getting them vaccinated is a must, but that doesn’t guarantee they’ll always be safe from everything. Plus, they may wander to areas with lots of fleas and ticks, which can be dangerous and uncomfortable for your cat, even if they take flea and tick preventatives.

Harming Wildlife

Like an invasive species, cats can harm native wildlife. Cats have a natural instinct to hunt, so they may kill small animals for fun even though they’re being fed at home. Cats kill about 1.3 to 4 billion birds and 6.3 to 22.3 billion mammals every year. So, while being outside may be fun for your cat, it’s harmful for the environment.

Increased Risk of Getting Lost

You may not hear about cats getting lost as much as dogs, but it happens all the time. Over 10 million pets go missing every year, and about half of those are cats. Luckily, most dogs find their way home eventually, but only 74% of lost cats find their way home, according to a 2012 study. Even if your cat always comes home when they’re supposed to, there’s always a chance that they don’t. And if they don’t return, how will you know if they’re lost verses injured/dead? It’s a scary thought that I’m sure many pet parents don’t want to consider.

Creating Unwanted Litters

If your cat isn’t spayed or neutered, letting them outside is extremely risky. Cats are already very overpopulated as it is, with millions of cats dying in shelters annually. If you let your cat outside when they’re not fixed, there’s a good chance they will reproduce, bringing more unwanted litters into this world. That’s not fair to your cat or their potential kittens.

At the end of the day, deciding whether or not to let your cat outside is your choice, however, I feel like doing so is really risky. As much as I love seeing cats around my neighborhood, I don’t want those cats to get hurt or hurt other animals just because they’re outside. So, if you have an outside cat, please consider keeping them inside. There are just too many risks involved that I don’t see why anyone would want to do it.

Are Other Animals (Besides Dogs) Bred in Puppy Mills?

April 15, 2024

3 min read (Articles narrated by Mabel)

Puppy mills are a common topic, but the name “puppy mill” implies that only dogs are bred at those inhumane businesses. But can other pets come from mills? And how can you tell if an animal is coming from a bad breeder? Keep reading to find out.

What Other Animals Are Commonly Bred in Mills?

Cats and rabbits are the other two animals most commonly bred in mills. That’s why, like puppies, you’re less likely to see kittens and bunnies in pet stores. Humane Pet Store Ordinances also commonly add cats and rabbits to the wording to protect more pets than just dogs.

Kitten mills are almost identical to puppy mills, providing poor conditions and little socialization for the cats in their care. Rabbit mills are similar, and in some cases, can be even worse. According to the New York State Humane Association, about 50% of rabbits die before reaching the pet store because of the high rates of diseases.

As of right now, I’m not aware of other animals being mass-produced to the same extent that dogs, cats, and rabbits are. However, there are certainly unethical breeders for all types of pets, so it’s important to do your research before bringing an animal home.

How to Tell if an Animal is Coming from an Inhumane Business

Since I’m a dog, I’m the most knowledgeable about dog issues. I’ve written a lot of articles about how to spot a puppy mill, and for the most part, spotting a kitty mill or bunny mill is the same. The breeder should be willing to show you the parents of the animal, where those animals are bred, and all their health info. The breeder should also be very knowledgeable about the breed/species and want to make sure each pet goes to the perfect home.

These tips may slightly differ for other species like hamsters or lizards. Those animals aren’t as mass-produced as the ones I mentioned above. However, they can definitely still be mistreated by the breeder, so it’s important to be cautious any time you get a new pet. No matter the species, make sure to ask lots of questions. If you suspect that the breeder just wants to make a quick buck and doesn’t care about the animal, trust your gut and search elsewhere.

Any Type of Pet Could Come from a Bad Breeder

Dogs, cats, and rabbits are the most common pets mistreated for profit, but I’m sure there are bad breeders for every animal species. So, instead of buying an animal from the first place you find, do some more research. Look at reviews and talk to the breeder to make sure they’re someone you want to support. Getting a pet should never be a rushed decision, so if you’re feeling skeptical, keep looking. And, of course, I always recommend checking out local shelters and rescues first. There are lots of pets of a variety of species looking for forever homes, so don’t overlook rescue animals. After all, I’m a rescue dog and I’m awesome!

Rescue Dogs in Memphis are in Critical Need of Help!

March 24, 2024

2 min read (Articles narrated by Mabel)

With so many heartwarming adoption stories out there, it’s easy for dog lovers to forget that dogs are dying in shelters every day. “Kill shelters” aren’t just restricted to rural areas; healthy dogs are put down in every state, even in big cities. It has recently come to our attention that Memphis, Tennessee, is really struggling to save all the dogs at risk of euthanasia, so I wanted to make a post about it to spread some awareness.

Memphis Animal Services Needs Your Help!

Memphis Animal Services currently has way more dogs than they can take care of, which is why they sadly still euthanize many healthy dogs. As I’ve mentioned in many other posts, shelters don’t do this because they want to. They do it because there’s no other choice. With so many puppy mills and not enough people spaying and neutering, the dog population is out of control. Plus, there aren’t enough people fostering and adopting these at-risk dogs.

Saved from euthanasia because of fostering!

So, Molly has recently started helping with a project that spreads awareness about dogs in Memphis that desperately need foster homes. Many of the dogs at the shelter are only days away from euthanasia, so they need a foster home or a forever home to save their lives. Molly is helping create content on a website called We Foster Dogs in hopes to reach more people, but I figured it would be a good idea to share it on here too.

If you’re interested in fostering or adopting one of the dogs at risk of euthanasia, you can apply on Memphis Animal Services’ website. Fostering one of these dogs will save their life.

Can You Help if You Don’t Live in Memphis?

While fostering or adopting from this shelter is the best way to reduce the euthanasia rate, not everyone can do that. If you don’t live near Memphis or don’t have the time to foster right now, it can be tricky to help. However, there are other ways you can make a difference even if you can’t foster directly from this shelter:

~Donate – Even though it won’t free up space in the shelter, it can help them get more resources to support the dogs in their care.

~Spread the Word – Share the dogs at risk of euthanasia on social media to hopefully reach someone who will foster or adopt them.

~Foster or Adopt Locally – Even if you’re not near this shelter, fostering and adopting from other shelters and rescues can save lives. Even if the organization you adopt from doesn’t put down dogs, they might transport dogs out of overcrowded shelters. So, adopting or fostering a dog will free up space for another dog to get out of a full shelter.

Saved from euthanasia because of fostering!

Even though less dogs are being put down than previous years, it’s still a huge problem in the United States. So, please consider adopting or fostering if you’re able and spread the word so more humans can help. For more information on Memphis Animal Services and fostering in general, you can visit WeFosterDogs.com.

Why Can’t Kill Shelters Stop Putting Down Healthy Dogs?

March 7, 2024
4 min read (Articles narrated by Mabel)

This is a serious topic, but I felt like I needed to make a post about it because I keep seeing it posted on social media. I’ve come across some petitions that people are supposed to sign to tell shelters to stop putting down healthy dogs. In theory, it sounds like a good petition, right? But the reality is that signing a petition like that won’t do anything because it doesn’t provide a solution for the shelters that are forced to put dogs down.

Why Do Shelters Put Dogs Down?

Some states have a lot more kill shelters than others, but all states are putting down some healthy dogs. It’s not because they want to. It’s because they can’t find other options. Dogs are severely overpopulated in the United States because puppy mills keep mass-producing dogs and many of the people who buy those puppies don’t get them spayed and neutered.

Many shelters are getting more dogs in than they have space for, and turning dogs away or putting them down are the only options. Turning dogs away might sound like the more humane option, but owners of those dogs may find inhumane ways to put the dog down instead. Or, if the dog is a stray, they could get killed by a vehicle or wild animal. Those fates seem much worse than humane euthanasia at shelters.

Rescues take dogs out of overcrowded shelters as much as they can, but they need funds and space to take as many dogs as possible. No one involved wants innocent dogs to die, but sadly, with the way the world is right now, there’s no way to save them all without lots of help and support.

Why Can’t Shelters Choose to Stop Putting Dogs Down?

I hate that other dogs have to be put down. I was in an overcrowded shelter before I ended up at the rescue Molly adopted me from (I think, it’s hard to remember that far back), and I’m lucky I made it out, but not all dogs are that fortunate. But signing a petition telling shelters to stop putting dogs down isn’t going to magically make it happen.

For shelters to stop euthanizing healthy dogs, they need enough support from rescues. For rescues to support these shelters, they need to have foster homes lined up and enough donations to care for and transport the dogs. Every rescue and shelter I know needs donations, so as much as they want to help every dog, they don’t have the resources to.

How You Can Help

I know this topic is depressing, but we can turn it around. There are ways to reduce the number of dogs dying in shelters, but telling the shelters to stop isn’t one of the solutions. If you’re passionate about helping healthy shelter dogs live, here are ways you can help:
- Foster dogs – Dogs taken out of kill shelters need foster homes to go to, so the more people that can foster, the more dogs rescues can take in.
- Adopt a rescue dog – Every dog that’s adopted opens up space for another dog to be saved. And if you adopt from a kill shelter, you could be directly saving a dog from euthanasia.
- Donate – Donating may not free up space, but it could make it easier for rescues to afford to take in more dogs. It’s a great alternative for people who don’t have time to foster or adopt. If you’re unsure what type of donation will make the greatest impact (money, food, supplies, etc.), contact the rescue to find out what they need the most.
- Share adoptable dogs – If you don’t have time or money available, you can help by sharing posts about adoptable dogs and suggesting rescue dogs to humans looking for a new dog. Do anything you can to get more dogs adopted so more dogs can be saved.
Next time you see a post or petition begging shelters to stop putting down healthy dogs, think twice before you support it. I know whoever makes those posts means well, but this situation is much more complex than meets the eye. Instead of shaming shelters and demanding them to change, let’s help them change by volunteering, adopting, fostering, donating, and educating. Dogs shouldn’t be dying in shelters, but the issue can be fixed with lots of support from dog lovers.

A New Website For Pet Parents!

February 29, 2024
Hi everyone, it’s Mabel! I wanted to take some time to announce a new website that my mom, Molly, has made. If you’ve been following me for a while, you probably know that Molly is a writer who works on a lot of pet-related writing projects. She helps me with this blog, but this isn’t the only site she writes for.

Molly recently decided to start a new dog website called Mutts About Pets. It has informational posts about pet health and behavior. You might be wondering – why can’t she post that on this website? And the answer is because the writing style of both sites is different.

This site is all from my point of view. I have plenty of educational posts on here, but they’re usually short and lighthearted. Overall, I just write on this site for fun and to encourage dog lovers to adopt. It’s informal while still sharing good stories and information about rescue animals. However, Molly wanted to make a more formal pet website that covers a variety of topics. The articles on Mutts About Pets are longer and use keywords to help them rank in Google. The articles she wanted to write just didn’t fit the vibes of this site, so she created a new place to post them.

Why Make Another Pet Site?

So, why would one person have two pet-related sites? Molly has written for a variety of animal sites for freelance jobs. While she loves doing that, she wondered – “what if I could make my own site and content?” Thus, she created Mutts About Pets to give that idea a try. She’s using her knowledge of pets and SEO writing to see if she can get the posts to gain lots of views on Google. If that works out, she may try to find ways to earn money off the site, such as using ads and affiliate links.

She didn’t want to use this site for that purpose because this site isn’t about ranking on Google or earning money. This is just a fun project that she helps me with because she’s so passionate about rescue dogs. She doesn’t want to change the style and voice of the site just to gain more viewers. She likes this blog the way it is, so to avoid changing it, she made a new site instead.

Will Mabel the Rescue Dog Still Exist?

Of course! Just because Molly is working on new projects doesn’t mean this blog will stop. As usual, I will keep posting on here whenever I’m inspired to write something. There are no plans to ever take down this blog, so don’t worry. You’ll still be getting plenty of dog-related content from me, Mabel!

But if you love animals, I encourage you to check out Molly’s new site. You can visit the website directly to see the new posts or you can follow Mutts About Pets on Facebook to stay up-to-date with current pet information. Every view and follow can help this new site be successful, so thank you to everyone for your support.

Here are some of my favorite Mutts About Pets posts so far:
