About Atlas

Atlas is a Border Collie mix ready to start a new chapter after his previous family could no longer keep him. He spent his life outdoors until coming to the shelter, but he’s learning quickly what it means to be an inside dog. Atlas has lived with older children, but he will need structure and boundaries to settle in, since he hasn’t had those before. Smart, high-energy, and eager to please, Atlas thrives when challenged and given direction. He’s best suited to someone experienced with working breeds, ready to continue his training—including behavioral modification—both before and after adoption. With time, patience, and commitment, Atlas could become an outstanding companion for the right adopter. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
