About Manny

Arriving soon: now accepting applications Manny is a 1 year old 19 pound pug mix making his way to Maine soon. Upon arrival, Manny will spend a short 2–5 day decompression period in a local Maine foster home before beginning meet & greets. This time allows him to settle in, decompress, and show us his true personality. We are accepting applications now so we can line up the best possible matches ahead of arrival. Approved adopters will be first in line to schedule a meet once Manny is ready. If you’re feeling the pull, don’t wait — apply now: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/TGD/Dog

About Pug Dogs

Pugs are irresistible little clowns with wrinkled faces, big round eyes, and an unmatched talent for making people laugh. They're sociable, loving dogs who live to be the center of attention. Pugs have a wonderful sense of humor and a mischievous charm that's impossible to resist.

When you adopt a Pug, you're gaining a shadow who follows you from room to room with adoring eyes. They're excellent with children, friendly with everyone, and adapt well to any living situation. Their low exercise needs and affectionate nature make them perfect companions.
