Gimme’ Shelter: Manny is waiting for you to come play ball at the RI SPCA – Cheryl Tudino
October 26, 2025/
Hi there, I’m Cheryl and I volunteer at the RISPCA shelter in Warwick by dog walking, fundraising and social media messaging.
Cheryl Tudino, RISPCA
I am here to share with you a peek at your new adoptable BFF!
Serena Williams who??? Manny is truly a one-of-a-kind dude and is waiting to challenge Serena Williams to a tennis ball match. With a carefree spirit and an absolute LOVE for tennis balls, he captures the hearts of all who meet him.
His grumbly pitty noises are often accompanied by not one, but two, sometimes three tennis balls in his mouth and a forever wagging tail.
Even on his walks Manny has his tennis balls! A home with lots of tennis balls is not a want for this boy, it is an absolute necessity! He believes in hard dedication to his sport and hopes to one day beat Serena on the court and to conquer four tennis balls in his mouth.
In his own way Manny is an affectionate guy, giving kisses, bringing you his tennis balls, and asking for scratches. Have we mentioned he really likes toy balls?
Stop by and meet this tennis ball-loving hippo, Manny, and I guarantee he will bring an immediate smile to your face, and you most likely will find yourself literally laughing out loud. He is looking for a loving home, a warm bed, and a lifetime supply of tennis balls.
A home with no other pets, and teens + would be the best fit for this short stack.
Those interested in the tennis ball superstar, Manny, are encouraged to reach out to learn more about what makes this guy so special!
