About Atticus

Meet Atticus! This mini Australian Shepherd weighs around 25 lbs and is about 4-5 years old. When he first arrived, he was in rough shape, but he's now on the mend and ready for a loving forever home. Atticus is sociable with other dogs, making him a great companion for your pooch. However, he does have a tendency to chase after cats, so a feline-free household might be best for him. He's neutered and current on all vaccinations. Atticus tested heartworm positive but has begun the slow-kill treatment and only needs to remain on heartworm preventative. If you think Atticus could be the right fit for your family, reach out to us to set up a meeting! Click apply to start the adoption process.
