About Atlas

Atlas is a small guy bursting with personality! Weighing in at 22 pounds, he’s the perfect travel buddy. His affectionate nature shines through, especially when he’s around other dogs; he thrives in a home where he can have a furry sibling or two to play with. Initially a little shy, once Atlas warms up to you, he’ll greet you with pure joy every time you come home. This playful fella enjoys tasty treats, engaging with toys, and snuggling with his favorite humans. Having been rescued from a high-intake shelter, he successfully underwent heartworm treatment, but he will need to be adopted by a Vermont resident as he still shows a positive test result. This lovable dog is neutered and his vaccinations are up to date. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
