With a gentle spirit and perfect puppy dog eyes, it’s not hard to fall in love with Manny. Manny didn’t get the best start in life, and because of this he can have trouble trusting people. But this best-friend-to-be has a brave heart and is learning to go on walks and take treats. Manny came to us through a collaboration with Lake County Animal Care and Control. While he doesn’t have a mean bone in his body, he is quite shy in and out of the kennel and requires patience (and a lot of tasty treats) for him to feel comfortable. Once he gets to know you, Manny is your best friend, demanding as much attention as you can give with nuzzling, acting as a shadow, and rolling over for belly rubs. We are unsure how Manny reacts towards cats, but he loves other dogs and tends to be more confident with another dog around. Manny is fully housebroken but does need some practice with his leash manners. We recommend Manny go to a home with another dog (or two) to help him adjust to his new environment.

* We recommend foster-to-adopt for Manny
