Calling All Angels...Addante Needs YOU!

A special guy with special needs
4ish year old pit/mastiff mix

Every so often, we hear from some remarkable soul who says, "I want to adopt the dog in greatest need." Or, "Who's been here the longest?"

Well, that dog is Addante…and if you're looking for an awesome dog in desperate need of a loving home, look no further.

Addante was moments from being euthanized when we rescued him. He is a sweet, patient soul who wants only love. He has a great sense of humor and is a bit of a goofball...and yet there is something noble about him.

He spends every day at a kennel in a 48" crate. Every time we have to put him back in, we have to tell him it's just not his turn yet, even as he sees other dogs come and go.

After months of pain, Addante lost his battle with glaucoma in one eye. Most of his eye had to be removed. After reviewing our options, we chose an "intraocular prosthesis," a complex surgery. It was expensive, but it's allowed Addante to keep his good looks, which improves his chances of finding a home. He's blind in one eye, but most people can't tell. (Can you spot his "before" and "after" photos?)

Addante won't need special medical care, and his right eye is fine. But he needs a loving owner who can see past his handicap and love him for himself.

We know Addante is destined to be someone's beloved dog. After all he's been through, he deserves a person to call his very own. Could you be Addante's angel?
