Manny is a sweet young boy who is now looking for his forever home. He's about 2 years old and is a tall standard-sized eskie who currently weighs in at 26 pounds. We rescued him from a kill-shelter in central Florida where he was a stray. He was skin and bones and only 20 pounds at the time, but his foster mom is keeping him well-fed and he's now up to 26 pounds; his hip bones, backbone, and ribs are no longer so prominent and his coat is already thicker and fuller. We think his ideal weight will be around 30 pounds. Several wonderful ERU volunteers helped Manny/aka Nanook on his journey to freedom and a new life. A huge "thank you!!" goes out to Chris Brancheau, Chet Creacy, Eric Wallens, Candy Kane, and Lynn Badger! Manny is an excellent watch dog, and usually doesn't bark unless he has a reason to. But like most dogs, he will bark at strange dogs and deer he sees near his foster home. He's very affectionate, loves to give kisses, get belly rubs, and laying in his foster's lap. He does great with other dogs, loves riding in the car, he's house trained, and knows some obedience commands. Manny will need additional training to learn how to walk on a leash without pulling. He is very treat oriented and takes them gently, which should help make his training easier. He's a young dog and loves to play, and needs a home with someone who will play with him daily. His foster mom says he loves to run zoomies in her fenced-in yard, and she would really like for him to have a fenced yard to run and play in. We don't yet know how he is with kids and cats. And we don't know if he was ever crate trained or not.
