Story
🐾 Meet Vex! 🐾 Vex is a 2-year-old male German Shepherd with a big personality and lots of charm. He’s a fun-loving guy who’s ready to find a home that understands and appreciates him 💙 📍 About Vex: • 🎉 Fun, goofy guy with an engaging personality LOVES PUP CUPS • 🐕 Gets along well with most female and neutered male dogs • 🚫 Does not do well with intact male dogs • 🐈 Showed little interest when walked into a cat room, though slow, proper introductions are always recommended • 👶 Not a good fit for homes with small children at this time • 🧒 Older, respectful children who understand dog boundaries would be best • 🚗 Needed a little help getting into the car, but once inside he’s an absolute dream • 🦶 Fun fact: Vex has only 3 toes on one front paw, which may cause an occasional hitch in his step—but it doesn’t slow his spirit! Vex is looking for a home that will embrace his quirks, keep things positive, and give him the structure and love he deserves. If you’re ready for a loyal, fun companion, Vex might be your perfect match 🐾💙 Interested in meeting Vex? He’s excited to meet you!

Story
Looking for a guard dog?? Milo is for you!! Milo is a 70 lb. 2-year-old Great Pyrenees Mix. He is VERY intelligent and trainable with formal obedience training. (Fuss, Platz, Here, Rug, Heel & more.) He is GREAT at walking on leash and wonderful at obeying his commands. House & crate trained as well. Milo loves to be outside and go on daily walks. He is very food motivated (He LOVES treats. =), good with car rides, low energy, nondestructive, & a GREAT guard dog!!! Takes time to warm up to new people and pets. His guardian breed tendencies are strong. Milo needs a new home that is better suited to his natural instincts & demeanor. (Not a good fit for a busy household with lots of kids or visitors like ours.) He would thrive in a home that is quiet with a consistent routine. Milo is very loyal & a wonderful guard dog! 🏡 He would be a GREAT guard dog for a family who has property or a farm.

Meet Connor 🐕💫 Connor is a 10-month-old Belgian Malinois with a heart as big as his potential 💙. He’s a super sweet, “in-your-pocket” kind of boy who loves being close to his people 🐾—whether that means adventure time or chill time. Connor had a rough start in life 😔. He was dumped in a park and was very sick when he was found, but with good care and lots of love, he’s now healthy and thriving ✨💪. Despite everything he’s been through, he remains incredibly gentle and loving. This handsome guy is very food motivated 🍖, making him a great candidate for training and learning new skills 🎓. Connor does great with other dogs 🐕🐕 and enjoys having canine friends. He can be shy at first with new people, but he’s also curious 👀 and warms up quickly with patience and kindness 🌱. Once he’s comfortable, his affectionate personality really shines 💕 Looking for an adventure buddy? Connor’s your guy! 🥾🏃‍♂️ He’d make an amazing hiking partner, running partner, or couch buddy 🛋️—he’s truly happy as long as he’s with you ❤️. Connor is a very sweet, resilient boy who should fit in well with just about any household ready to give him the loving forever home he deserves 🏡🐶💙 located at Manteca Animal Services 115 E Wetmore St Manteca Ca 95336 209-456-8270
