My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Manco (pronounced MAHN-koh)
Manco is a Heeler mix around 50 lbs and 2-3 years old. Manco came to us terrified of human contact and completely shut down. He is now learning to trust humans and is doing so well. He is learning that human contact is pleasant and humans have lots of yummy treats, he still lacks some confidence in new situations and meeting new people, but he comes around pretty quickly with tasty soft treats. He used to be terrified of leashes but now walks great on a leash. As you can see in the picture, Manco is missing a foot. We are not sure how he lost it. But he has a callus over the stump and runs and plays on it with absolutely no problem. Once Manco gets to know you he is your right hand man, and loves to follow you around and be close to you. Manco is going to need a special, gentle, patient owner. He wants to please but needs to be guided to what is expected of him. He would do great with someone who will continue trust building and helping him build his confidence in new experiences. Manco is great with other dogs and cats. He is great with kids, but we do recommend older kids in his new home that can respect him while he adjusts to his new environment. Manco is crate trained, up to date on vaccinations and preventatives, Heartworm negative, and will be neutered soon. His adoption fee is $50. Please let us know if you can be the special angel that Manco needs. He will reward you with love and devotion for the rest of his life. ❤️
