My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Tiago was dumped at a kill shelter at 10 years old by his owner. His history is one of abuse and neglect, but this old man still has plenty of miles left. Tiago has had an unimaginably difficult life so far, but we hope he can find peace and know love now that he's with MAD. Now we're looking for a guardian angel to save him and give him a forever where he can know love, joy, safety and peace.
