A HOME FOR ANGELO

This is Angelo.

I saw Angelo one day a few weeks ago when I was going through Union Square here in NYC, where I live. He was sitting on the sidewalk at a dog adoption event with a volunteer. He was wrapped tight in a blanket and was resting on his friend’s lap. I got my own dog from the same adoption event three years ago. For some reason, I stopped and sat down next to Angelo and started asking about him. There was just something about him.

The volunteer with him said that Angelo has been in foster care ever since he was found tied to a tree in Brooklyn. When found, Angelo was neglected and afraid. That was five years ago. Angelo has never had a good home. He lives in shelters and foster homes, and spends his weekends at dog adoption events. Other dogs come and go, and Angelo remains. 

Angelo was very eager for scratches and was giving a lot of kisses.

He has been well cared for by Mighty Mutts and a series of dedicated volunteers, but he has never had owners to love him. The volunteer I spoke to had been working with Angelo for a year. Every Saturday, he comes and sits with Angelo and people walk past him. He said, “I’ve been doing this for fifteen years and Angelo is one of the greatest dogs I’ve ever worked with.”

I got that right away. There was a reason I stopped.

So I sat there for a little while. At one point, one of the puppies got his tail stepped on and yelped. Angelo immediately stood up to check on the puppy, and then checked every other dog on the adoption line.

There is something about Angelo.

This year has been terrible, but I’m not letting 2016 go without making something good of it. So I am determined to get Angelo adopted to a good home. I tweeted about him, and some great people were interested in Angelo, but they were either too far or already had dogs. So here are the details on Angelo:

Angelo lives in New York, so he’d have to be adopted in the area so that Mighty Mutts can do a home visit before adoption. He should ideally be the only dog in the house, though he is good with other dogs. (I had my dog with me, and the two got along great and gave each other kisses. There were a lot of kisses involved in this whole affair.) He would be best suited with someone who has had experience with dogs, because he is a big, lovable guy. He is about eight now, so he is mellow. He has a lot of energy, but loves a cuddle and will likely sleep snuggled up with you if he can.

His volunteer said that for the right application (really make the case, maybe send a video?) he would be willing to drive somewhere within about a five hour radius of New York to do the home visit himself. 

Angelo has spent his life without a real home. If you are in or around NYC and have been considering a dog, consider Angelo. If you can’t adopt him, please spread the word to anyone you know in the area. 

I will sponsor the $275 adoption fee for Angelo, and you’ll be my hero.

To make an application for Angelo, contact Mighty Mutts. (And if you apply, let me know so I can follow up!) If you spread the word, please use the hashtag #ahomeforangelo

2016 has sucked. Let’s do this thing and get this awesome guy a home. 

Ugh 😑 I’m his death 💀

I’m his wife. 😌

Reblog with your relationship to Loki!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Also, know that it’s okay for us to say we’re crazy but you? Hi, you can never say that to us.

Oh myyyyy, the baby 🐷 made me squeeeeee!!!! @the-haven-of-fiction I agree on the skunk, but the hedgehog stole my ❤️

if you bought a ticket for endgame you are required to also go see Fast Color this weekend! support a superhero movie starring black women!

here’s the trailer:

Go buy your tickets here!

And if there’s no showings in your area? Tweet at your local theater! Or call them or comment on their Facebook or Instagram page.

It’s especially important that you post about the movie, even if you can’t buy a ticket or get your local theater to screen it. Lionsgate, the distributor, threw it under the bus by giving it barely any marketing, putting it the same weekend as Endgame, and only releasing in limited theaters.

👏🏻🎉💃🏻 so damn excited!! *bounces off walls*
