Mani

My story

Hi… I’m Mani 🤍 I’m a one-year-old male Jindo mix, about 16kg, and I’ve been waiting to meet you—my forever family. My life kind of paused when I was just three months old. That’s when I ended up in a shelter. Cold metal bars, unfamiliar sounds… for a long time, that was my whole world. I lost my mom when I was very young. I don’t even know how I got there. All I know is that, with my small body, I was placed on the euthanasia list— before I ever got to know what a home, a family, or love really felt like. But here’s the surprising part. When I was finally rescued and stepped outside that place, I didn’t hold onto the fear. Instead, I discovered people. And I loved them. I wag my tail when I see you. I know how to ask for affection. I’m gentle with other dogs, taking my time, learning how to play— because honestly, I’m still figuring out how the world works. There’s a lot I don’t know yet. Living in a home. Having a family of my own. House training, walking on a leash, learning how to live together. Everything will be new for me. That’s why I’m looking for a family who will teach me, who won’t rush me, who will guide me with patience and love. If you become my very first family, I promise you this— with the deep loyalty Jindos are known for, I will stand by your side for the rest of my life and love you with my whole heart. I’m still just one year old. I still have a chance. Instead of remembering my painful past, I hope we can build a warm future—together. I’m Mani. And I’m waiting for you. 🐾
