Adoption Pending
Manny is a super sweet 11 month old. He was surrendered to our rescue because he was being mistreated by the male in the household. Understandably, Manny is a little shy, especially with men, but he LOVES to be petted. This lovely boy does well with cats and other dogs. He needs a home with a fully fenced yard (no shock collars!) and children over the age of 8yrs. He needs to be allowed to adjust and learn to trust again and that not all men are mean. He is already overcoming his past by learning to accept men.
He came with tons of worms which he is being treated for.
Update: 6/8/10
Manny is now crate-trained. He’s a healthy, happy boy! He’s been treated for his intestinal parasites. He does great with other dogs now and would probably appreciate a nice playmate. He’s sweet, a little shy, silly and definitely a puppy. He will chew shoes but he likes to trade. Has show zero aggression, and is just a goof. He HAS to have a fun, positive, training class of some sort but that should be a breeze with him as he is very eager to learn. He’s also house trained, knows sit, down, stay, shake, and touch. He loves to play ‘tug’ and to snuggle on the couch. If we didn’t already have a boy,he wouldn’t be up for adoption right now. 🙂 He’s done great with small children with experience who are 3yrs old and 5 yrs old.
Bernise (Nisey) is a 3 year old girl that was given up due to health issues of her old family. A beautiful dog with a great disposition. Bernise loves everyone. If you look deep into her eyes, you can see right into her heart, and she will make you melt.
Very nice older dog (7 y/o) who has had no formal training but a good background on basics of sit and walking on a leash. GREAT apparent health for a 7 yr old…very physically sound appearing. Our concerns are only that she really needs to learn to accept people in her home! She has potential to be a fear biter if handled wrong. She growls and barks and looks generally menacing when you first arrive but does have a good recovery time. Once she settled down she was very very friendly. Other things I saw/tested and info I got: Reasonable pain and manipulation tolerance – should be OK with medium to older kids…maybe even young kids. should take all logical training well but won’t handle a rough hand/highly negative training techniques Loves other dogs,did well with our test dogs. Sierra rushed over to meet and play. Owner occasionally takes her to local dog park where she is very social unless “dogs want to hump her…she doesn’t like that”. Greets dogs with minor submissive mouth licking, tail slightly down, some minor crouching goes quickly into minor play bow and invites. Owner works her on choke (which we do not recommend) but I think with some minor training she will be easy to control on a flat buckle collar. She is very eager to please and listen to anyone. As indicated some minor insecurity that may get worse initially with a transition. This is a one owner dog since Sierra was 7 weeks old. Shots are not confirmed as up to date. No real serious flea control has been done. Heartworming is also questionable. Grooming has been very reasonably kept up on. Coat in good health, no mats, nails need trimmed. She is a bit foot shy but if you insist she will let you work with her feet without resistance. Housebroken, crate familiar. Raised for four years with a Pomeranian …good with little dogs but sometimes plays a bit rough. Spayed, loves car rides, takes food from hand well but could use some better manners here … no obvious food aggression. Because of Sierra’s issue with new people, she will require an above ground, physical fence. NOT the invisible, shock type, as this will make her more fearful.
