Poor 3-legged rescue dog who ‘loves to cuddle’ is desperate for a home

Despite her loving personaility, little Mabel is struggling to find a new home due to her disability.

The crossbreed is seeking a loving family in the UK after enduring unimaginable hardships on the streets of Egypt.

The six-year-old dog was struck by a car and sustained such severe injuries that her front leg had to be amputated, forcing her to adapt to life on three legs.

The pooch‘s rescuer shared: “She really is the sweetest dog you could ever meet. She absolutely loves people and makes friends instantly, greeting everyone with a gentle heart and a wagging tail.

“She’s wonderful with other dogs too – playful, kind and easygoing.

“She adores cuddles and is incredibly affectionate. She just wants to be close, to feel safe and to be loved. With her gentle nature and loving personality, she truly is the perfect dog for any family.”

Mabel is available for adoption through Miracle’s Mission and can be rehomed anywhere in the UK, as long as her new owner can cater to her emotional and physical needs.

A statement reads: “Type of home needed – A loving home happy to adopt a dog with three legs.

“Mabel is spayed and weighs approximately 23kg. She is very sweet and loving.

“She was tested with cats and was nervous but not aggressive towards them at all.”

Reacting to her rehoming post on Facebook, one user commented: “Oh, you are a lovely, beautiful puppy. Come over here, you beautiful puppy.”

Another user chimed in: “Just a beautiful dog. Shared with optimism. I so wish I could take her.

“Had I not got two big dogs already, I would. The fact she’s a tripaw is not a problem, but I can’t manage walking three dogs together and don’t really have time to do separate walks.”

Another user commented: “I have a rescue from Egypt – she is a total sweetheart, a bit crazy, but she is a Golden Retriever. Shared for a great home.”

A further user remarked: “My three-legged Melek from Macedonia is the biggest joy in my life. They do adapt and get on and just want to be happy. I also bet Mabel is a fast runner. These dogs are simply incredible. Good luck, Mabel.”

Established in 2015, Miracle’s Mission has been working to “provide a place of safety for animals in danger, to educate on the need for neutering both pets and strays, and to neuter stray dogs and cats to prevent the birth of more animals onto the streets”.

Describing how the charity got its name, a statement explained: “Miracle was rescued from the streets of Borneo at one week old before her tiny eyes were even open. She was found with her siblings in a very remote area, where they were likely abandoned and very unwell.

“The puppies were full of maggots, with ringworm and blood parasites. Unfortunately, Miracle’s siblings did not make it.

“Miracle was cared for and had a very long road to recovery ahead of her. She had several injuries and was very weak, but she made a miraculous recovery and is now strong, happy and healthy, living with her adopted sisters Star and Tess, who were also rescued from Borneo. Her aim is to help save many more animals in need around the world.

“Miracle is the namesake of our charity, and her story is similar to many others around the world. However, not all of these animals are as lucky as she was in finding a loving home where she is spoilt rotten.”
