About Atlas

Meet Atlas! This charming 1-year-old Chihuahua mix packs a lot of cuteness in his little frame. Atlas does well with other dogs but prefers they respect his space initially; he can feel overwhelmed if another dog gets too close too quickly. Once he trusts you, he transforms into an affectionate buddy who loves to be around people. Atlas has had a bit of an unstable journey recently, moving from place to place. Consequently, he may need a little help refreshing his potty training. Stability and patience will go a long way in helping him settle in. If you have a soft spot for tiny pups with big hearts, Atlas might just be the right fit for you. Adoption fee is $350. Click apply to start the adoption process.
