French bulldog girl of 3 years is looking for a new home (Ranskanbulldoggi)

A 3-year-old French bulldog girl, Manu, is looking for a new home with a very good family. Manu is a boy's name in Finnish, but in Ukranian it's not. And her full name is Emma Manu Elle, like a real princess. She’s not for breeding, but for the couch. Because of the war my mom came to Finland with Manu and another French bulldog girl, Martisha. My mom has a kennel in Ukraine, and these are our dogs. They’ve settled in with me, and I kept them without much thought. However, current circumstances indicate that Manu would be better off in another family.

Some time ago, I started a serious long-distance relationship, and I’m constantly traveling. It’s difficult and stressful for me to keep finding babysitters for Manu, and it’s can be stressful for her too. My parents are happy to take one of the dogs, but it’s hard for them to manage two along with their own dog. Additionally, Martisha (the second dog) dominates Manu, who is sometimes too afraid to play with toys because of it. When I separate Martisha in another room and play with Manu alone, she immediately becomes active and plays in ways she won’t when Martisha is around. Manu loves playing with a toilet paper roll because Martisha doesn’t claim it. I have to make sure there are two of every toy and actively stop Martisha from bothering Manu. Otherwise, Manu just "helps" Martisha play. Outside of playtime, Manu gets along well with Martisha.

In addition, walking, caring for, and giving my fullest attention to two dogs takes up a lot of resources and time, which I’m short on.

As for her personality, Manu is a very affectionate and loving girl. She adores people and always seeks out contact with them. When she’s on a walk, she often stops in front of passersby, waiting for them to pet her. She loves being scratched, hugged, petted, lounging on the couch, and more. I personally let her sleep on the bed with me. Manu is very smart and easily learns new commands. She’s a little princess and loves being lifted onto the couch, given treats, and showered with attention. She enjoys walking and loves looking out the window. She also loves sleeping in bed until noon on Saturdays and doesn’t ask to go outside. She doesn’t like walking in the rain or snow 💅 Manu is also very small in size for a grown bulldog and so is incredibly huggable and doesn't take much space on the bed

Martisha is very aggressive with other dogs, so Manu has had very few chances to meet and make friends with other dogs. After a short period of adjustment and training, Manu will definitely be able to get along with other dogs. She’s always interested in them, and we’ve already managed to make friends with a few neighbors’ dogs. But while she’s living with Martisha, it takes time and training for her to have these interactions. Under Martisha’s influence, Manu can sometimes show signs of aggression, but this is just because she hasn’t had many opportunities to meet other dogs without Martisha around.

Manu also occasionally has allergies that need treatment. During those times, her paws and ears itch, and they need to be cleaned and treated. We’ve switched to hypoallergenic food, and things have improved, but it’s still unclear if this will be a permanent fix. There’s a chance that the allergies will come back from time to time. This seems to be pretty typical for the breed.

It’s worth mentioning that Manu snores. I personally find it very cute, and it doesn’t bother my sleep at all. She sleeps with me in bed every day. But for my partner, it’s a huge issue. She either wears earplugs and tolerates it, or we let Manu and Martisha sleep in the living room. I have videos of her cute snoring, but I didn't find how attach a video in Tori

I really really love Manu, and I really don’t want to give her up. But I understand that this will be better for everyone, especially her. Manu is a wonderful dog, and she deserves the best family, a lot of attention, and care. In the right hands, she will make your life better. Taking care of a dog requires resources, so I’ve decided to sell Manu for a fee as a sign that you can afford to provide for her. I might be open to negotiating on the price, since it's not that much about the money

Feel free to message me, and I’ll answer all your questions when I have time. I’m very serious about this and need to get to know you better, and introduce you to Manu, to make sure you’re truly a good family for her. I think it would be a good idea to have a first meeting and then take Manu on a trial basis for a few days or a week to see if she feels at home and like you and if you like her likewise and ready for the commitment.

Manu has had her vaccines done and she was dewormed when she came to Finland. Manu is not sterilized
