About Atlas the Kindest

Atlas the Kindest overcame unimaginable pain after being found in dire condition in Amman, Jordan. He had sustained two fractures, bullets embedded in his chest and lungs, painful ulcers all over, and a deep wound from being tied up. Despite these traumas, Atlas remained gentle, allowing the rescue team to help him. After extensive veterinary care, Atlas made an amazing recovery. He had to have one leg amputated, but he has adapted beautifully to life on three legs. Now completely healed, he is happy and active, eager to leave his painful past behind and find a loving forever home. Atlas is sweet and forgiving, getting along well with both dogs and people. He is neutered and fully vaccinated. All he needs now is a home to call his own. Could that be yours?
