About Atlas

Meet Atlas, a charming 22-month-old Great Dane who is looking for a new forever home due to his owner's military deployment. This sweet boy is not only affectionate but also loves to be near his people. Whether lounging on the couch or leaning against you while you cook, Atlas finds happiness in being close to his favorite humans. He enjoys daily walks or runs to burn his youthful energy and is leash-trained. Atlas knows commands like sit, lie down, and shake, and he loves working for treats—ice cubes are a favorite reward! Although he can be a bit stubborn at times, he learns quickly and thrives on engaging activities. When meeting new dogs, Atlas may initially be hesitant but warms up with proper introductions. He has done well around a respectful 7-year-old child but may not do well with younger kids due to their unpredictability. For this reason, a home without toddlers would suit him best. Atlas is neutered, fully vaccinated, and ready for a loving home that can provide a securely fenced yard for play. He deserves an adopter who understands the needs of a young Great Dane and can give him plenty of exercise, structure, and love to flourish. Give him the stable home he’s been waiting for!
