It is unfortunate that some retirement communities won't allow dogs. It is also unfortunate when a family leaves behind such a beautiful animal.

Our Point Pet of the Week is named Manga ('Mang' rhymes with 'Bang'). The Monmouth County SPCA says she is a 5-year old Terrier mix who was surrendered after her family moved into a retirement community and she was unable to join them.

In Manga's previous home, she got to be the only pet and the center of attention. She is loving, smart, and playful with family...but wary of strangers. At the shelter she does show that it takes time for her to warm up to and trust new people...but once she does, she is your friend for life!

This sweet girl loves to cuddle and give kisses for hours on end. She also enjoys playing in the park and loves to run. And Manga has a studious side, too, responding to commands like 'sit', 'down', and 'paw' and, since she loves treats, she will be able to learn even more with the right teacher.
