About Atlee

Atlee, named for her father Atlas, is a bright, lively pup who craves attention and company. There's playful mischief in her—she’s fun, loving, a bit hyper, and always up for giving kisses or soaking up affection. Atlee sometimes gets a streak of bossiness when she joins forces with her sister Dottie, especially when play turns a little rough for their runt brother. With supervision and fair boundaries, she settles in well. She loves being with dogs and enjoys the company of all kids. There’s no requirement to adopt Atlee with her sister, so she’s available on her own. Atlee is a Community Assist animal and will be adopted as is—Mercy Fund Animal Rescue has not provided medical vetting. Apply if you’re ready for a joyful and energetic new addition.
