About Atticus

Meet Atticus! Atticus is an adorable 3-month-old Heeler/Golden Retriever mix looking for his forever family. This sweet boy was abandoned along with his five siblings but is now thriving in a loving environment. He's playful and social, enjoying the company of not just other dogs but also cats and even peacocks! Atticus has a happy disposition and is showing promise as a wonderful companion. Right now, he’s mostly outside working on his kennel training. Like any young puppy, he needs guidance and consistency from a family prepared to help him learn and grow into the best dog he can be. He has received his first round of puppy vaccinations but is not yet neutered, so his future adopter will need to arrange for that when he’s old enough. If you want a friendly, eager-to-learn puppy, Atticus is ready to join your household! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
