My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, I'm Atlas, and I'm a wadi dog!

My five siblings and I might be the first wadi dogs you've ever seen, so let me tell you all about us!

Wadi dogs like me are very smart. We're also loyal and loving. Just perfect companions, really! Wadi dogs descended from Salukis originally, and you can still see their influence in our sleek builds. We are smaller – sized for cuddling.

The six of us were born in Oman and rescued from the street by the lovely people of Muscat dog adoption. They really loved us, and when we were big enough we came here to Fast Friends in the US.

The trip over was scary, but I am adjusting well. I love playtime with my siblings and am learning that the staff and volunteers are very nice and give me lots of treats and gentle pets.

I think I am really going to like it here in the US, especially when I find a home of my very own.

* Fast Friends adopts in the New England area. If you are interested in Atlas or one of our other available dogs, please complete an adoption application at www.helpinggreyhounds.org/adopt-a-greyhound.

** Atlas is extremely timid and needs a very special home with an experienced owner who can be with her most of the time. She needs a quiet environment – Atlas would NOT do well in a city or on a busy street – with one of her siblings or another confident dog. Atlas' adopter must have a securely fenced yard.
