Atlas came to the rescue after facing euthanasia at a rural shelter in Snowflake, Arizona, simply because of space. Now, he’s making the most of his second chance in Scottsdale, fitting in well and showing just how gentle he can be. Atlas has a naturally calm, easygoing personality around people and other dogs, and he’s especially happy when he’s got a canine buddy for company. Whether he’s lounging by the pool, tossing around a squeaky toy, or curling up in bed for the night, he’s an easy dog to love. He still needs some basics—Atlas isn’t crate trained, and he’s just starting to learn commands. Until now, he probably didn’t get much one-on-one attention growing up, so patience from an adopter will go a long way. He’s house trained, enjoys fetch, and will never say no to a belly rub. Atlas is best suited for a home with at least one other dog, and while he hasn’t been tested with cats yet, he does get along with children, ideally kids age 7 and up who understand dog behavior. He’s looking for someone who can help him keep learning the ropes, and in return, he’ll give his whole heart. Let’s make sure this guy finally gets the home he’s always deserved.
