Mabel Update - NO CANCER



Did you know that the Gio Fund continues to cover medical costs of the dogs we pull until they are adopted?

Mabel was rescued after having one leg amputated due to cancer. In coordination with Eleventh Hour Rescue www.EHRDogs.org in Morris County, New Jersey, and A Shelter Friend www.AShelterFriend.org in rural Bladen County, North Carolina, we were able to pull her after her another rescue commitment fell through.

Recently, Mabel had surgery to remove two more masses on her good front leg. This time we have good news! Biopsy results came back negative. Mabel is cancer free!

However, as we save more animals our vet bills keep growing. To help us cover these additional medical costs and continue to fund saving more like her, please consider making a donation at www.GioFund.org

Mabel Needs Your Help!


We are happy to report that Mabel has a new best friend / human brother in her foster family. Thank you to Melissa Adkins and her family for taking such good care of Mabel in New Jersey.

However, we are sad to report that Mabel will be going to the vet in New Jersey for an updated cancer screening. There is a chance her cancer may have come back in a spot on her other front leg. We are estimating her visit with x-rays will cost about $500.

Donations are certainly appreciated as we have told 11th Hour Rescue that the Gio Fund will take on these expenses. Please consider making a donation of any amount large or small to The Gio Fund at  www.GioFund.org.

Above are a few pictures of Mabel and her new human best friend. We are so thankful for all of the kindness everyone has shown towards her.

Mabel is a hound mix, approximately 10 years old. She is seeking a family or person who will give her the attention and love she deserves.  Mabel recently had cancer on her from paw.  An amputation of her front leg was needed to stop it from spreading 


Mabel ended up in an overcrowded kill shelter in rural North Carolina.  She was turned in because the owner could no longer care for her.  She is about 45 pounds and has reached her full grown size.

Mabel is extremely friendly around other dogs and cats.  She is not yet micro chipped. 

Please feel free to contact the rescue in North Carolina, Chris Rogers at 973 975 8383 or crogers@giofund.org for more details.

If you'd like to meet Mabel, please complete an application at https://www.ehrdogs.org/animals/detail?AnimalID=13366304 & be sure to mention her names - Mabel!  Mabel will be in NJ and ready for adoption or a foster home in August.
