🐾Danté’s Story Please Share🐾

💔Danté’s world stopped last Friday night when his mom Rita did not come home.💔

She was in a fatal car accident and will never hug her beloved Danté again. He was her absolute highest priority and she was his world.

I knew Rita from Southwest Airlines. She was a flight attendant there and we had flown together numerous times. I was contacted by a family member on Sunday to secure Danté and bring him into our rescue, Rescue Texas. He had been alone in the backyard since Friday, waiting for his mom to return. We wanted to pick him up as soon as we were made aware that his mother had passed but a neighbor told the family that she would look out for Danté and she felt he shouldn’t be taken at night. Unfortunately she had ill intentions and was trying to give Danté away! Only by the grace of God were we able to get to him in time on Monday morning.

The founder of Rescue Texas, Tracey, has spent every minute with Danté since we picked him up. He is grieving and noticeably depressed with all of these sudden changes. We are currently working with a trainer, nutritionist, veterinarian and behaviorist to help Danté transition properly.

Rita’s wish was for Danté to go to Colorado should something happen to her. Rescue Texas is looking into that. Ultimately, we all want the best home for him, wherever that may be. Until then, Danté needs constant supervision, love, compassion and understanding. He’s getting all of that right now.

I know how much Rita loved Danté and the very special connection they had. He was everything to her and we want to do everything we can to make sure that he is well taken care of and that he is placed with the most fitting family. If you’d like to make Danté a part of your family please fill out an adoption application here.
