Manny Goes Home

So word is that Manny went to his new home Sat afternoon!!!  Much to my mild surprise  as due to overcrowding he had not made it into the public areas where would-be adopters could view him.  Which means his adopters either came looking for him specifically based on seeing him online, or were one of the couples who met him when I walked him in the lobby earlier Sat.

Brenna and I are very curious about who adopted Manny, but as adopter information is private we may never know.  There was one very nice couple who were interested in him when I walked him, and someone on facebook who expressed interest.  It doesn't surprise me that he got adopted.  It's a rare half starved stray who knows sit, shake, down, and walks great on leash.  Not to mention is well mannered with other dogs and people.  So it was a numbers game until he found a home.


Sadly my fellow shelter volunteers didn't manage to get photo op like we got with Ned this Sat, but that's pretty much how it works as a shelter volunteer.  You work with a dog to get them ready to be adopted and see them regularly for weeks at a time.  Then they are gone and hopefully you'll never see them again.

Thank you to everyone who forwarded Manny's blog post, the shelter workers who took him in, vets/vet techs who patched him up, and the volunteers who walked him and kept an eye on him for me.

PS- Brenna is very relieved that Manny has found a new home, and that she can abandon her plan to move into a hotel room for some peace and quiet in the event she came home one day to a third dog.  Sam is happy because he'd miss her....

PPS- About a month after this post I became facebook friends with Many's new owner.
