A VOLUNTEER WRITES:

Alpha  is a stunning young man born with a special gift. He is deaf and has shown everyone around him that he is living his life just like any other youngster is.  He has learned to “listen” to special commands like one finger means sit and two fingers means stay. He waits for his master’s order before to start to eat. He is house trained, loving, playful and great with children. He is not destructive when left alone…Last but not least, he is right down gorgeous with his impeccable snowy coat and his “to fall in love with” blue eyes.  Alpha as i could see is a good boy, very friendly, wagging a lot his tail and a very good walker who seems to like other dogs even if they are not nice to him. I verify his sign language knowledge which he demonstrated after I myself “got it right”….He  is a bit lost (which is understandable…his disability and the separation from his family), comes to my chest for comfort and indulges in caresses. Alpha needs a hero tonight, someone who likes  and understands pets with disabilities. Alpha is waiting at the Manhattan Care Center, dreaming and hoping to start a new, healthy  and happy life with you.

Another Volunteer Wrote: The last time we met a deaf pittie hanging out at ACC who was this sweet he went on to become one of the all time great therapy dogs. Alpha is well on his way–he already knows hand signals-and he’s so eager to share his charms! First stop, a forever family…then the world!
