Available for Adoption
Addante
3 year old male
Large pit-mastiff mix
Addante is a big ball of fun. He's very playful and lovable...a sweet 'n silly goofball! He loves walks, toys and especially balls of all kinds.
Because he's a big, active guy, too many people have passed him over. That's a terrible shame, because Addante is an AWESOME dog. He just hasn't found his "person" yet.
Addante was picked up as a stray by Animal Control in Waukegan. Scheduled for euthanasia, he was literally on the table, sedated, when a perceptive animal control officer burst in and stopped the proceedings. She saw something special in him, and so do we. Hopefully, you will, too!
Because of our chronic shortage of foster homes, Addante has lived in a kennel for nearly two years. He has a ton of love to give, and truly deserves to be in a home. He absolutely craves attention and massages. He will twist himself into a big, wiggly pretzel to keep you from taking your hands off of him.
He gets along with other good-sized dogs, but not small dogs or cats. (If there's another dog in the home Midwest Rescue would arrange an introduction to make sure they'd be compatible.) Because of his size, he's not the best choice for a family with small children.
Addante already knows some commands. However, Midwest Rescue's adoption agreement includes formal obedience training. Because Addante is a kennel dog, Midwest Rescue will reimburse the owner for basic obedience training.
