Story
Meet Ginger! 🐕✨ Intake date: 03/04/26, came in as a stray with Sarge A038504. This beautiful 1.5yr old Shiba Inu mix is a quiet, gentle soul who enjoys the calmer side of life 🌿💛 If you’re looking for a more laid-back companion, Ginger might be your perfect match. Ginger can be a bit dog selective 🐾 she gets along wonderfully with some dogs but may not click with others, so proper introductions are important. She has shown some interest in cats 🐱👀, so a home without cats would likely be the best fit for her. This sweet girl prefers calm peaceful environments 🏡 and would thrive in a home that matches her easygoing vibe. Once she feels comfortable, Ginger’s calm and loving personality really shines through 💖 Older respectful children would do well with her as well! If you’re ready to give a special pup a safe, relaxed place to call home, come meet Ginger and see if she’s the one for you! ✨🐾 Manteca Animal Services 209-456-8270 115 E Wetmore St Manteca, Ca

Story
This is maple. She is a good dog. Very skittish and I have been working with her, building her confidence. She is trained a little bit and very good on the leash. She loves walks and working. Very lovable and cuddly. I don't want to rehome but circumstances might change for our housing situation. I'm in need a service dog and because she is very shy and skittish, I am not a professional trainer to properly build her confidence. I don't have the money to spend on her training either. She is up to date on shots. Potty trained. Good with kids who understand space. I am asking for a rehoming fee as I want what's best for her.

Story
🐺 Meet Thunder! ⚡ Intake date:03/22/2026 Thunder is a handsome 5-year-old Husky who came to us as a stray. This sweet boy has a calm, easygoing personality and is very much a "live and let live" kind of dog. 💙 He enjoys doing his own thing and shows minimal interest in other dogs, making him a relaxed and independent companion. 👧 Thunder has been noted to be calm and well-mannered around children, making him a wonderful candidate for a family looking for a gentle canine friend. 🐱 No cats, please! Like many Huskies, Thunder has a strong prey drive and would do best in a feline-free home where he can thrive. 🚗 Thunder has also been noted to ride very well in the car, making him the perfect co-pilot for road trips, errands, and weekend adventures! 🏡 If you're looking for a sweet, laid-back Husky who is happy to be by your side without demanding the spotlight, Thunder may be the perfect match for you. Come meet this handsome boy and see if he's the missing piece to your family! ❤️🐾

Story
Meet Thanos 🖤🐾 Intake date: 01/27/26 Thanos is a 4-year-old male Cane Corso who came to us as a stray in extremely emaciated condition. Despite his rough start, he’s been gaining weight steadily and is blossoming more each day 💪✨ It’s been amazing to watch him regain his strength and confidence. Thanos walks well on a leash and is VERY food motivated 🍖, which makes training both rewarding and effective. He already knows sit, down, shake, and speak 🐶👏 and truly enjoys working with his people. He appears to do well with neutered male and female dogs, though he has not been tested with cats at this time. Thanos does resource guard with food and can show barrier reactivity in a kennel or crate. Because of this, he will need an adult-only home with someone experienced and familiar with the Cane Corso breed who can provide structure, leadership, and continued training. With the right owner, Thanos will be an incredibly loyal, protective, and devoted companion ready to start his next chapter ❤️

Meet Cammie 🐾💗 Cammie is a 1-year-old female Hound mix with a gentle soul and the sweetest personality. She and her mom, Dixie, found themselves as strays after wandering into CVS together, talk about an unexpected shopping trip! 🛒🐶 Cammie is very shy at first and needs a little time to feel safe and comfortable. But once she comes around, her true personality shines ✨ She’s a goofy, affectionate girl who just wants love and reassurance. Watching her open up and learn to trust is incredibly rewarding. She has learned to walk on a leash as well now! Cammie is dog friendly 🐕 and would likely do well with cats with slow, proper introductions. She may also do well in a home with calm, respectful older children who understand she may need patience as she settles in. With a little time and a lot of love, Cammie will blossom into the most loyal and loving companion 💕 intake date 11/06/25 came in as a stray. All adopted dogs will be spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped prior to going to their new home. 💖 Located at Manteca Animal Shelter 115 E Wetmore St Manteca Ca 95336 209-456-8270
