Here's what the humans have to say about me:
My name is Manny and I’m looking for my forever home. I am a happy and laid-back 9-month old boy. I am shy at first, but confident and affectionate once I get to know you. Foster mom says I’m a good boy. She trusts me to have free-run of the house when she goes out and I come when she calls me when we're in the yard. I am good with other dogs – I love to play and wrestle – and I don’t bother the cats. I am not aggressive toward people or animals and I learn quickly when foster mom or the dogs correct me if I'm doing something I shouldn’t be doing. I’m a vocal – I’ll yip or whine if I need to go outside or when I’m hungry. I’ll bark if something startles me or if the other dogs get excited, but I’m quick to settle down again. I love to play with plush toys and pull out the stuffing and squeakers, so foster mom gets super durable ones. I’m chewing less as I get older. I’m very food motivated. I sit for treats and am working on slowing down when I eat. Sometimes I eat things I shouldn’t (like poop – yeah, I know, it’s gross). I take supplements that are helping me not be tempted. I love to play in the securely fenced yard, and I like going for leash walks. I love scritches around my ears and neck. I’ll lean in so hard that I might fall over on you! I also like to snuggle the other pups, here. Most nights I sleep on foster mom’s bed, but I’m fine sleeping on my own too. My perfect forever home would have another dog to play with, but that’s not essential if you have time to take me on walks and play with me. I’ve never lived with kids, but foster mom thinks I’d be fine with them as long as they were gentle and respectful. I weigh 19 pounds and am neutered and vaccinated. I’m a healthy boy, though I did test positive for giardia. I don’t display any symptoms so the vet thinks a round of antibiotics will take care of things. I’m currently being fostered in Wausau, WI. If you live in the Midwest, and are interested in me, the first step is to become an approved SIRA adopter at www.savingshibas.com/adopt. Applying helps SIRA learn about you and your home so they can tell if we’ll be a good match. Once approved, they’ll introduce you to my foster mom so we can meet.
