Meet Mugsy Malone, affectionately known as Mafia a one yearly pit bull mix with a big heart, a big personality, and a big challenge ahead of him.

Mugsy was born deaf. This means his world is quiet, no voices calling him name, no soothing "good boy" to tell him he is safe. Instead he has had to rely on what he feels from the people around him. Unfortunately, life hasn't been very kind to Mugsy so far.

He has been bounced from foster to foster and when no one could handle his needs, he was sent to boarding. Weeks turned into months with little to no human touch, just a young dog watching the world go by, wondering what he did wrong. All Mugsy really wants is to feel safe, to finally belong.

Despite all he's been through Mugsy still shows a glimpse of hope. He loves the water, enjoys walks on a leash, and when he trust you even for a moment you can see his heart shining through those soulful eyes. He is not broken he just needs someone to speak his language.

That's where training comes in. With the right help, Mugsy can learn sign language and finally understand what people are trying to tell him. Just as importantly his future adopter can learn how to communicate with him building a bond based on trust, love and patience.

Mugsy has the potential to be someone's perfect companion. He just needs a chance, the chance to learn, to trust and to finally go home.

Please help us give Mugsy Malone the training he needs to open the door to his forever home. Every donation no matter the size, helps us give this special boy the voice he has never had.
