MANNY - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat). Manny is the definition of a sweetheart — a gentle senior boy with a loving heart, soulful eyes, and the kind of hugs that stay with you long after you’ve let go. He has been incredibly affectionate with everyone he’s met so far, leaning in for love, soaking up attention, and charming everyone around him with his soft, loyal nature. He truly is a total lover boy. Having already lived through plenty of life’s adventures, Manny seems to appreciate the simple things most: being close to his people, enjoying the outdoors, and feeling part of a family. He previously lived as an indoor dog and spent most of his day relaxing inside, where he was comfortable being part of everyday home life. He goes outside to potty and will usually let you know he needs to go by whining. Manny is crate trained, knows several cues including sit, down, off, drop, quiet, and outside/potty, and clearly understands what it means to be a well-loved companion. His favorite toy? Socks — which only adds to his endearing personality. He loves water, does well with baths and handling, and is comfortable being touched all over. He has been allowed on furniture in the past, naps during car rides, and may even let out an occasional little howl — just enough to remind you he has plenty of personality left to share! Manny is friendly with visitors and has done well with men, women, children, small animals, and livestock. He has never lived with cats, so we cannot say for certain how he would do with them. Around other dogs, Manny may need a little extra patience and reassurance, as he appears to have developed some nervousness after being attacked by another dog in a previous home. Slow introductions will help him feel safe and comfortable. As a senior boy who has had hip surgery in the past, Manny deserves a home that appreciates him for exactly who he is — a loyal companion with so much love still to give. He may not be looking for chaos or adventure, but he is looking for soft places to rest, kind people to adore, and a family who will treasure the gentle joy he brings.
