Meet Manny! Manny is an adorable, 10 month old, 8 lb Miniature Poodle mix with a friendly, fun personality!

Manny was rescued from a small shelter in Pampa, Texas, after he was found as a stray. The shelter was so full that they had to double up some of the kennels, but luckily Manny was the perfect roommate! He was co-kenneled with another small dog because of his incredibly social, easygoing personality. The shelter staff quickly saw what a gem he is. Manny is one of those dogs who seems to get along with everyone he meets, both human and canine.

Despite whatever adventures he may have had before arriving at the shelter, Manny has remained a happy, affectionate, and optimistic little guy. He greets people with a wagging tail and a bright, curious energy that’s hard not to fall in love with. Manny loves attention and will happily soak up pets, snuggles, and kind words from anyone willing to give them.

At just 10 months old, Manny is still very much a puppy. He’s playful, silly, and friendly. He would likely love a home that enjoys walks, playtime, and including their pup in everyday adventures. Manny is also a smart little guy, and like many poodle mixes, he will thrive with positive training, mental stimulation, and lots of love.

Manny does require a home with another dog, as he cries when he is left completely alone. He stays loose in the home when his foster leaves, and is not destructive in any way, but he does not like being alone. If he has another dog with him, he is content and does not cry.

From Manny's foster:

"Manny is such a wonderful little puppy! He is friendly and social and playful.
He is playful and gets along great with my dogs. He also is good with my cats, he has never bothered them. He loves doggy friends!
He is such a friendly boy and does really well meeting new people and is always excited to make new friends, human or dog ones!"

Farfel's Rescue and our Texas rescue partners would love to see Manny in a home with an individual, family (older kids are preferred so there's no tail-pulling or awkward handling) or active retirees who have the time and love for a very loyal and sweet dog. We'd hate to see him left alone all day while his family works full-time outside of the home, as he is much too social for that type of arrangement.

We'd like to place Manny in a home where he'll get consistent stimulation, exercise and love. A (virtual or in-person) positive reinforcement group training class promotes great behavior, bonding and confidence. Training is so important in the future behaviors of every dog. It's for this reason that we're unwilling to adopt to a family that doesn't make this loving choice. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of both in-person and virtual positive reinforcement / force- free trainers in your area.

Manny is up to date on his vaccinations, has been fully vetted, is healthy, heartworm negative, and is neutered.

Farfel's Rescue is a fully foster based rescue, and offers a one week trial with every adoption. We feel that this is much more beneficial to not only the dog, but the adopter too. We believe that only getting 20-30 minutes with a dog before deciding on a lifetime commitment is not a fair amount of time to the adopter, or the dog. Therefore we give adopters one week with the dog to assure it is the right fit, and offer a full refund of their adoption fee should it not workout within the week trial.

Farfel's Rescue has been doing adoptions this way since 2005 and is thrilled to adopt out ~400 dogs each year.

Applications are currently being accepted for our wonderful pup. If interested in this gorgeous, very cuddly/sweet and loving best friend, please fill out an application completely at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ and submit.

**PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting from us, please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application found at the link above or at farfels.com. Adoption site applications such as Petfinder and Adoptapet don't provide enough information and therefore aren't useful. Our Farfel's application is the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving dog. We're sorry, but in many cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit our Farfel's Rescue adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue.

Farfel’s Farm & Rescue was founded on the idea that each dog deserves a loving home and the chance for a happy life. We are so thrilled to be able to rescue these amazing dogs from urgent situations in Texas, New Mexico, Arkansas and Cancun, Mexico. Working with a dedicated team of volunteers, the dogs are pulled from high-kill shelters because they’ve been recognized for the gifts they will bring to a loving family. They are then transported by specially licensed vans to Colorado for a second chance at life. The dogs are evaluated and treated for any medical issues before being transitioned to their new family, where they can become accustomed to having a family’s love, a warm bed and plenty of healthy food!
