My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Manx | 8 years old | Boxer mix | 52 lbs | Perfect balance of calm and adventurous | Toronto area

Meet Miraculous Manx! Manx was found by a police officer in northern Manitoba, starving and freezing. Thankfully she was sent to a rescuer in Winnipeg, and now she is in our care and absolutely blossoming. As her fosters put it, Manx is a survivor! She inspires her fosters with her deep resilience and eagerness to love. She has a real zest for life, and brings a positive and playful energy to any room she's in. We are so grateful to give this girl a second chance, and she's grateful to have one.

Believe us: Every day you get to share with this sweet dog will be special.

Here are some things to know about Manx:

--She is a calm girl, but loves to play! She loves belly rubs, play wrestling, and her puzzle Kong. She especially loves to do bed zoomies!
--She is a people person! Manx is comfortable around both men and women, and is a very social gal. She enjoys visitors because she thrives on attention and companionship.
--She enjoys her walks, and walks well on leash. She doesn't pull and pays attention so that she can match her pace to yours.
--She loves food, but will wait patiently to eat.
--She's a quick learner and very food motivated. She is already working on sit, stay, and lie down, and would benefit from being with someone who wants to continue her training.
--She is fully housetrained, and does not need to be crated when left alone.
--She is not a barker, but loves to talk! When excited, she will "cheerfully chatter" to let you know she's having fun.
--She thinks she is a little lap dog. No matter how small the available couch, she'll decide she's a perfect fit and cuddle on in!

Manx is a very special dog, and everyone who has met her responds to her soulful and loving energy. She is a love sponge: she is making up for lost time by soaking up all the love and attention she can get and she gives it back to her people tenfold.

More about this rescue

We are a small group of volunteers trying to help local and international rescuers who desperately need help to rehome their dogs. It started as a fundraising effort to help them with vet costs and food so they could help more strays on the street. However, rescue is not complete without a forever home and they were overwhelmed with so many dogs and no homes to send them to. There are so many sweet, loving and friendly dogs and along with fundraising, we hope to find homes for their dogs so they can continue to help more.
