Meet Atticus! Fostered in Pensacola, Atticus is a charming 2-year-old Great Dane, blending youthful goofiness with the heart of a gentle giant. He’s a devoted companion, embodying the true Velcro dog mentality—wherever you go, he’s right beside you. This sweet boy is known to bowl over small children with his enthusiasm, so older kids are a better fit for him. Atticus enjoys the company of other dogs, fitting seamlessly into his foster pack. He can coexist peacefully with cats as long as they get a proper introduction; his curiosity towards them only leads to friendly interactions. This lovable Dane is house trained and can be trusted with free roam, though he prefers the comfort of a dog bed over a crate. He has smooth leash manners, is eager to learn commands, and is motivated by treats. Thunder doesn’t faze him, and he's currently honing his fetch and tug-of-war skills. Though he takes time to settle in, Atticus simply wants to be included in every family adventure. A secure 6-foot fence is necessary, but his behavior improves as he becomes more comfortable. Atticus would thrive in a home where he's not left alone for long, promising endless affection and loyal companionship in return. Atticus is neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. He’s also being treated for heartworms through the slow-kill method. His adoption fee is $400. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
