Manny (CET Big Man): 12/15 - Hello!


Hi there! I’m Manny and my racing name was ‘Big Man’. Even though I’m a big dog with a big name, I’m really sweet and love cuddles and quiet time. My favorite thing so far seems to be getting scratches behind the ears and taking naps. Oh, and I’m sure you’ve noticed, but have you seen how amazing my brindle coat is?!


I’m great on the leash and my foster parents keep telling me I’m a delight to walk! I don’t even try to chase squirrels. My house manners are good too- I don’t try and put my face on the counter tops or ‘help’ my foster parents with their food.


I’m spending a lot of time quietly watching my foster parents, trying to figure out this whole ‘retirement’ thing. In my forever home I think I’ll need a confident family to help show me the way. In return you’ll get a sweet, fun, and HANDSOME addition to your life!

- Manny.
