Addie

My story

From Survivor to Mayor… Life’s an Adventure with Addie!  Hi pals! I’m Addie—the sweet, sassy, and unstoppable Dog Mayor of Mt. Helix! I’m not just any pup—I’m a survivor, a lover of life, and a local icon! I was rescued from the terrible conditions of the Chandler 55 case, where I was one of 55 dogs found in heartbreaking neglect in Chandler, Arizona. The woman hoarding us is now in jail for animal abuse, but I don’t dwell on the past—because I didn’t just survive, I thrived. I’m ready for my next chapter in a loving home… hopefully with you!  Due to my past, I don’t have use of my back legs, making me incontinent. However,  I don’t let that slow me down. With my trusty wheels, I zoom through life with unstoppable energy. Whether I’m playing tug-of-war, greeting new friends with a happy face at The Animal Pad HQ, or enjoying snuggles, I prove that disability doesn’t mean inability! I even earned the title of Dog Mayor of Mt. Helix in 2024, showing the world that special needs pups are just as happy, adventurous, and full of love as any other dog. When I’m not in my wheels, I love to just hang out by your side, soak up affection, and be part of the action. I’ll need a special kind of home—one that understands my unique needs and is willing to help me in and out of my wheels. Since I’m incontinent, I wear the cutest diapers with suspenders, and I’ll need a family that’s comfortable managing my potty needs. But trust me—I am 100% worth the extra effort. I will repay you with endless love, loyalty, and joy every single day. I’m great with other dogs, I like cats, and while I haven’t met many kids, I’d most likely be fine with them, too! I deserve the best life, and I can’t wait to find a family who sees just how special I am. So, what do you say? Could you be my pawfect match? Let’s roll into our future together—adopt me today!
