BIO: The manicou — the animal I'm named after — is Dominica's wild opossum, famous for being nearly impossible to rattle. Calm under pressure, adaptable, and deeply unbothered by whatever life throws at it. That's a solid description of me, too. I don't need a big production. I don't need a lot of fuss. I'm easygoing in the truest sense — not because nothing's happened to me, but because I've got the kind of temperament that stays level no matter what. I'm ready for a quiet corner of Brooklyn to call mine.
HER FOSTER SAYS: Manicou will arrive in Brooklyn soon! We will share more as soon as she is in a foster home.
-
Manicou was rescued from the island of Dominica, where she was in the care of a local rescue partner. She will travel to Brooklyn in mid-June 2026 and move into a foster home shortly after arriving.

We will provide a more detailed profile for Manicou once we get to know more about her!

The dogs in our care are up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed or neutered (when old enough), microchipped, and given a general health check. Immediate medical needs and medical history will be addressed with the adopter prior to adoption. Complete vet records will be sent shortly after adoption.
