About Atlas

Atlas is a big, gentle soul—at 5 years old and about 60 pounds, this brindle mastiff and lab mix has a calm presence that stands out. He’s waited far too long for a home of his own. Atlas has a playful side, enjoying yard time with toys, but don’t let his goofy antics fool you: he can be just as content curled up for a cuddle. You’ll notice his crossed paws when he relaxes—it’s his signature look. Atlas gravitates toward women but gets along with men once he warms up. He needs a quieter home without young children, as too much noise overwhelms his mellow temperament. Atlas prefers to be your only pet; he does not get along with other dogs or cats. Crate and potty trained, you can count on a clean house, and he walks well on a leash. Atlas makes up for any quirks with loyalty and laughs. Born August 1, he’s a Leo—no surprise he loves center stage in your heart. Ready to give Atlas the soft landing he’s waited for? Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
