About Atticus

Atticus is a medium-sized male Black Labrador Retriever mix, about two years and eleven months old, with an easy charm that wins over everyone he meets. He carries himself with the sort of calm confidence that comes from having seen a little of the world, and he knows how to savor every moment—chasing tennis balls, sprawled alongside you on the couch, or enjoying those quiet hours at home. He still finds joy in the little things, and it shows in the way his tail never stops wagging. His playful energy is balanced by a gentle, affectionate side; he soaks up attention without ever demanding it and knows how to relax after a fun romp outside. Atticus is new at the rescue and eager for a family to share his best days. With vaccinations up to date and already neutered, he’s ready for a smooth transition into a stable home. As a Gemini (born June 5), you can expect a social, curious side to his personality. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
