Meet Atlas, a striking 9-month-old Australian Shepherd mix who just landed in New York. Weighing in at 35 pounds, he's a friendly spirit, well-suited for a home filled with love and activity. Atlas initially showed a bit of shyness around his foster siblings, but he quickly revealed his playful side and impressive tugging skills. Food motivates him, which should make training a breeze, and he appears to be house trained already. While he's still getting accustomed to walking on a leash, his adventurous spirit shines through. Atlas would thrive in an active family that can offer plenty of exercise and exploration. If he sounds like a match for your family, fill out an application to meet him. With so much to offer, he's waiting to become your new best friend. Homeward Bound Dog Rescue emphasizes the need for foster homes, and all our dogs are cared for in loving foster settings. We require an online application for adoption. Don’t miss your chance to welcome Atlas into your home!
