About Atlas

Meet Atlas, a charming little hound mix puppy just 6 weeks old. He has a striking white coat with brown and black patches, making him hard to resist. Initially a bit shy, Atlas is transforming into a loving and playful companion as he learns to trust and socialize with others. Having been abandoned, he is on a journey of confidence-building, discovering that the world can indeed be a safe and fun place. Weighing in at under 10 pounds now, we estimate he might grow to around 30 pounds as an adult. Atlas is eager to learn, but his future family will need to commit to continuing his house training and socialization. This investment of time and patience will help shape him into a well-adjusted companion. As a hound mix, he embodies qualities typical of his breed—curious, intelligent, and active. Hounds thrive on exercise and mental challenges, and they love being involved in family activities. Atlas is looking for a forever home where he can receive the love and guidance needed to become a loyal friend. Atlas's adoption fee is $350, which includes all vaccinations, a microchip, and a required neuter at 6 months. This will be done at the vet of your choice, or you can receive $125 towards your vet. If you think you could be the family he is searching for, the application process is open to you! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
