With a moderate activity level, he thrives on daily walks and outdoor playtime, making him a great companion for someone ready to match his energy. Coming from a home with many dogs, Manicotti was initially shy when he arrived at the sanctuary, but he quickly discovered the perks of food, toys, and open spaces.

Manicotti gets along well with other dogs and may benefit from the companionship of a furry friend in his forever home. However, he can also shine as your one and only. He does require an experienced dog owner to help him build confidence. Understanding his shy nature will make all the difference, but once he feels safe, he's ready to be your best buddy. His unique build, complete with short legs and wing-shaped ears, adds charm to his playful spirit. Manicotti is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped, and heartworm negative.
