About Manda

Meet Manda! Manda is a sweet, goofy little 6-month-old Cocker Spaniel mix who is ready for a forever family that loves snacks, snuggles, and can overlook her rather questionable driving skills. This little explorer thrives on food, making her training a breeze, though you might find her bargaining for secrets in exchange for a slice of cheese. Though she may be hesitant when meeting new people, a bit of patience works wonders. With that, you might just become her new favorite human, and she’ll let you know it! Manda has some hearing and partial vision in one eye, but she navigates her world quite well. When the zoomies hit, it’s a whirlwind; she tends to launch herself into furniture and walls at full speed. After her energetic playtimes, she loves to curl up for cozy snuggles. Manda needs a loving family who understands her unique spatial awareness—she needs to explore and learn without restrictions. She’s not looking for pity; she seeks love, laughter, and a bit of adventure. If your home could use more joy and a playful spirit bouncing around, Manda could be the perfect addition! At Green Dogs Unleashed (GDU), positive reinforcement training is required for all adoptions, with preference given to those who will complete the six-week Canine 101 class in person. Out-of-area adopters may complete a virtual lesson instead. Click apply to start the adoption process.
