Hi there! I’m Manny — a bouncy, happy, full-of-life greyhound who just can’t help but make people smile. I’ve got bags of personality, a playful streak, and a heart as big as my paws! Life is just too exciting not to enjoy, and I like to make the most of every single moment.

I’m the kind of boy who’s interested in everything. I love to see what’s going on, meet new people, and explore new places. I’ve been told I’m quite entertaining — apparently, my enthusiasm can be a bit contagious! When I’m happy (which is most of the time), I bounce, wag, and sometimes even chatter away with a few excited noises of my own. I just like to express myself!

Even though I’ve got plenty of energy, I’m also a big softie who loves a good cuddle. I adore affection and fuss and will gently nudge your hand if you stop stroking me too soon. I’m brilliant for all my vet checks and grooming — I actually quite enjoy being brushed and will stand there like a superstar, soaking up the attention. I love people and really enjoy being part of whatever’s happening around me.

When the toys come out, I truly come alive! Squeaky toys are my absolute favourite — I’ll bounce, toss them in the air, and squeak away like it’s the best sound in the world (though I’ve been told it can be a bit noisy for human ears!).

Going for walks is another one of my favourite things. I love to explore, sniff everything, and see what’s around the next corner. I can get a little overexcited when I spot other dogs — I just want to meet them all and say hello! Sometimes I get a bit vocal about it, but it’s all happy excitement, and I settle again quickly once I’ve had a proper sniff or a bit of reassurance.

I’m looking for a home with someone who has owned a dog before and understands that my energy and enthusiasm are just part of my charm. A secure garden where I can play safely would be perfect, and I’d love an owner who enjoys having lots of fun. I could live with another playful, tolerant dog if introduced properly, but I’d also be perfectly happy as your one-and-only pal getting all the love and attention to myself.

Because I can be a bit bouncy, I’d be best with children aged 10 and over who are confident around dogs and don’t mind a bit of noise and fun! I can’t live with cats or small furries, though — I find them a little too interesting.

I’m a fun-loving, affectionate, and curious boy who’s always ready for the next adventure. I promise that life with me will never be boring — just full of laughter, love, and plenty of squeaky toys!
