About Atlas

Atlas, named after a collection of maps, is ready to navigate his way into a loving home. This spirited young guy is both friendly and eager to please. He's been known to sit for treats before you even ask, a clear sign of his enthusiasm. During playtime, Atlas showcases his affectionate nature, performing tricks like sit and shake while enjoying his time with toys and games of fetch. In his kennel, he gets excited when someone walks in, but he's quick to respond when you ask him to sit. At playtime, he jogs around happily, occasionally returning for some treats and affection. Atlas currently shares his space with another pup, so he’d appreciate a meet-and-greet with any resident dogs to ensure a harmonious fit. He’s just waiting for the right person to take him home. You can be that person!
