Manitto

My story

QUICK FACTS Name: Manitto Age: 4 years old Gender: Male (Neutered) Breed: Corgi Spitz mix Color: Brown, Black Weight: 9kg / 20lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was abandoned at a fishing site, left wandering around alone feeling scared and unsure of the world around me. It was a lonely and confusing time for me, not knowing where to go or who to trust. Thankfully, kind rescuers found me and brought me to safety before anything bad could happen. Now, I’m finally safe, cared for, and ready to leave those difficult memories behind as I search for a loving forever family to call my own.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Healthy with no known health issues   MY PERSONALITY I’m a super friendly and bright boy with a happy, affectionate personality. I bond very easily with people and truly love being around my humans. I also rely a lot on people for emotional support and feel happiest when I’m close to someone I trust. And honestly, I’m even cuter and more handsome in real life — my charm really shines once you meet me in person.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I get along very well with people and absolutely love receiving affection, pets, and attention. I allow myself to be picked up, and once I feel comfortable and safe, I love showing my belly for extra rubs and cuddles. · With Dogs: I enjoy greeting new dogs and making new friends. I’m social and do well with dogs that are friendly and respectful toward me. That said, I’m also confident enough to stand my ground if another dog is being rude or overly pushy, so thoughtful and proper introductions are important when meeting new dog friends. · With Cats: I previously lived with a cat in my foster home for about a year and got along very well with my feline companion. Even during walks, I don’t pay much attention to cats and tend to calmly move along without much interest.   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have a moderate to high energy level. I absolutely love spending time outdoors, exploring, and staying active, but once I’ve had my fun and exercise, I’m more than happy to come inside and snuggle up comfortably with my people.   TRAINING & HABITS I walk well on leash and follow my handler’s lead nicely during walks. I tend to feel more comfortable walking in quieter areas rather than busy, loud streets, but I’m improving and gaining confidence day by day. I have great manners around people during mealtimes and don’t guard my food from humans, though I can be a little sensitive when other dogs are nearby while I’m eating. I’m also a very quiet boy overall, rarely bark, and know how to rest calmly and quietly in my kennel. I’m comfortable using both pee pads indoors and going potty outside. In new environments, I may initially mark while adjusting to unfamiliar surroundings, so I’ll benefit from continued guidance, structure, and consistency as I settle into a home routine.   MY IDEAL HOME I’m searching for a patient, loving family who can help me become the best version of myself. I’ll thrive in a home with: • A family that will provide me with a safe haven – where I can decompress, be myself in a stable environment • A family that understands my past and is patient with me throughout • A family that enjoys indoor and outdoor time together • A family that will love and cherish me forever • A family that is understanding of my marking tendencies in new environments and willing to be patient, consistent, and supportive while I continue learning and adjusting   SPECIAL NOTES I’m a bright, affectionate, and people-oriented boy who forms strong bonds with my humans. Volunteers and staff often compliment how friendly, sweet, and handsome I am in person. I truly love being around people, receiving affection, and sharing everyday life with people. I also have a playful and adventurous side and enjoy spending time outdoors exploring the world. Once I’ve had my fun, I’m more than happy to come indoors and snuggle up comfortably beside my people. I get along well with both dogs and cats, making me a very adaptable companion for many different home environments. While I may need a little patience and guidance at first as I adjust to a new environment and routine, I’m eager to learn and continue improving every day. With consistency, understanding, and love, I know I’ll blossom into an incredibly loyal, loving, and well-balanced lifelong companion.   MANITTO'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.co ##2741123##
