Story
Mannix, or “Nix” for short, is a wonderful 2-year-old, 30-pound Corgi mix with a huge heart and so much love to give. Nix came to us from a hoarding situation, where he lived with many other dogs and had very little exposure to the outside world. Because of this, many things are still new to him—but he is learning every day that the world can be a safe and happy place.
Once Nix trusts you, his personality truly shines. He absolutely adores his people and shows it in the sweetest ways. He will dance when he sees you, roll around happily in the grass or on the couch, and lean in for belly rubs and snuggles. He loves being close to his people and enjoys cuddling up next to you on the couch. He also loves to wrestle and cuddle with the other dogs in his foster home.
Nix is crate trained and house trained and has been a very polite house guest. He has not gotten into things he shouldn’t and settles nicely in the home. He is also doing very well with leash training, especially when he is walking with someone he trusts and wants to stay close to. He is learning about car rides and has been going on new adventures with his foster mom, slowly building confidence along the way.
He is a very inquisitive and thoughtful little guy. You can practically see him thinking and analyzing the world around him. Nix is also very food motivated and learns quickly, which will make continued training fun and rewarding.
Because of his past, Nix will need a patient and understanding adopter. He may take a little time to warm up in a new home. Both of his foster moms shared that it took about a week and a half for him to fully relax with them, and now he acts like he has loved them forever. With patience, a calm voice, and a steady routine, he blossoms into an incredibly loving and devoted companion.
Nix would do best in a home with dog experience and a calm environment. A fenced yard would be ideal for him, though he can walk nicely on a leash. Because he is skittish at first and does not like hands reaching over him, we feel he would do best in a home without children. He has not been tested with cats, so we are unsure how he would do with them.
For the right person, Nix will be an incredibly rewarding dog. Watching his confidence grow and earning his trust is a truly special experience. He is a sensitive, intelligent, and loving boy who is ready to find a patient home that will give him the time and security he deserves!
