Belgian Malinois Β· Male Β· Adult Β· 3 years

πŸ’”πŸΎ MANNY – HOW HAS THIS HANDSOME BOY STILL NOT FOUND HIS HOME? πŸΎπŸ’” Manny was found as a stray, with nobody coming forward for him. His time at the pound sadly ran out, and he was just hours away from being put to sleep when, at the very last moment, a space opened up and he was saved. ❀️ Now Manny is safe at Ferne, but what he truly needs is a home of his own. He is a sweet, affectionate and intelligent boy who loves treats and thrives when his brain is engaged. Manny is house trained, travels well and enjoys the company of calm, friendly dogs when off lead. He will need some continued training with his lead walking and recall, but with patience and lots of tasty rewards, we believe he has so much potential. He would love an active home where he can enjoy adventures and perhaps even try activities such as agility or scentwork. Manny will need a cat-free home and could live with children aged 13+ after careful introductions. As we don’t know much about his past, any time left alone should be built up slowly. This gorgeous boy was given a second chance at life β€” now he just needs someone to give him a forever home. 🏑❀️ Could you be the person Manny has been waiting for? If you can offer Manny the loving home he deserves, please apply online.

About Manny

What life with Manny looks like

Manny is a adult belgian malinois dog waiting at Ferne Animal Sanctuary in Chard.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" β€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures β€” to let them settle.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Manny, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Manny?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ferne Animal Sanctuary handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Manny on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Manny if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” Ferne Animal Sanctuary will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Manny already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Manny isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Ferne Animal Sanctuary early rather than rehoming privately; they know Manny and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect β€” names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
