About Dante

Dante is a striking Pit Bull Terrier with a soft red coat, waiting for the right person to help him thrive. At 9 years old and weighing about 65 pounds, he’s already neutered and ready for a more nurturing environment. Dante has faced challenges in the shelter, and as such, he needs a calm and safe place where he can decompress and show his true personality. He's been waiting since October 24, and while he can be a bit guarded over his resources, he's a loving dog at heart. As he adjusts, be prepared for a period of patience. He’s not suitable for homes with children due to some reactivity around them, so a peaceful adult-only environment would suit him best. Could you provide Dante with the gentle care he deserves? Visit him at Pima Animal Care Center in Tucson, Kennel D105, to see if you’re the one he’s looking for. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
