About Atticus

Atticus has been on quite a journey. Abandoned at a campground when he was just five months old, he ended up in Homeward Bound Pet Rescue, where he waited nearly two years for a home to call his own. During his time in the kennel, he faced challenges with stress and fear, making it difficult for him to connect with people. But his story didn’t end there. With the support of HBPR and intensive training by Tyler Breh at Off Leash K9 Training North Georgia, Atticus has blossomed. He’s gained trust and confidence, and he's now ready to find a forever home. Atticus is a medium-sized male dog who would thrive in an active, calm environment. He gets along well with other dogs and needs a loving person committed to helping him continue to grow. This devoted companion is house trained and vaccinated. His adoption fee is $300. If you believe Atticus could be a great fit for you, please take the next step and submit an adoption application. Let him know you’re ready to give him the chance he’s been waiting for. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
