From Alaskan Animal Rescue Friends

Meet Manny: a tiny, ancient gremlin disguised as a dog, powered entirely by naps, spite, and sheer force of personality. Let’s address the obvious: Manny is… not winning any beauty contests. His look can best be described as “well-loved plushie that gained sentience” with a dash of “retired wizard who forgot all his spells except judgment.” But what he lacks in conventional cuteness, he makes up for in *presence*. You don’t adopt Manny for his looks—you adopt Manny because somehow, against all odds, he becomes your entire world. Manny is the definition of sweet… *on his terms*. He adores cuddling, will happily melt into your lap like a warm, slightly grumpy potato, and believes bedtime should be observed at all hours of the day. If you’re sitting, he’s sitting on you. If you’re lying down, congratulations—you now have a small, snoring paperweight. However. And this is important. If you attempt to make Manny do something he has not personally approved—moving him, bathing him, trimming nails, suggesting exercise—he will transform. The sweet old grandpa vanishes, and in his place emerges a surprisingly effective, mildly unhinged demon with the battle cry of a creature 10 times his…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.

How adopting Manny works

Alaskan Animal Rescue Friends decides every adoption: its application, its fee, its home check and its timing. Everybarn only shows this animal on the rescue's behalf, takes no payment and passes no messages.
