Story

We have had Manny for 13 years. We adopted him from the humane society as an 8 week old puppy. Manny is a gentle and patient, easy going male mix that loves short walks. He is house trained and is great on a leash. He loves to sit out in the yard or porch and watch people walk by. He rarely barks but does have anxiety over thunder, fire alarms, and loud noises. Overall he is healthy but his age is showing. We are moving to another country for a job and that country and travel would be too much for him at his age. We are moving to a highly populated city where the apartments are small and very few parks are near by. He travels well as we have taken him on long car rides on family trips. He does prefer people over other animals. He will do best for someone who would like an old soul companion. He has never bitten anyone and is not aggressive.

Story

❤️🎶 Meet Kenny Rogers! 🎶❤️Every litter needs a little music, and this handsome boy was named in honor of the legendary Kenny Rogers — with his sisters carrying on the Dolly Parton side of the tribute. Because what's better than a little country music and a whole lot of puppy love? ❤️🐾Kenny is the only boy in his litter, and this red-and-white sweetheart is one special guy! He looks a lot like his sister Ruby, with beautiful red-and-white coloring, long legs, and an absolutely fabulous personality.Kenny is sweet, playful, and full of charm. He's the kind of boy who is happy to be involved in whatever is happening and has that easygoing personality that makes you fall in love with him pretty quickly. 🥰With his long legs and handsome coloring, Kenny is going to be quite the head-turner when he grows up — but it's his great personality that really steals the show.And since he was named after Kenny Rogers, we think he's destined to find his own “Islands in the Stream” kind of love — the kind that lasts forever. ❤️This handsome boy is ready to find his forever family and start the next chapter of his story.🐾 Interested in Kenny?Please visit the SCARF website and submit an adoption application to be considered for this sweet boy: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=ch2817&method=online_form_html&formid=41Kenny can be transported from Texas for an additional $300 transport fee. 🚐❤️*Disclaimer: This pet is located in Texas.
