My story

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

Atticus is a very sweet, well-behaved gentle giant! He loves to cuddle with his fosters. Before moving to his foster home, he was in APA!'s shelter and was WONDERFUL with kiddos, soaking up all their love and kisses. He was also happy to relax on the couch with friends and a chew toy.

He is a playful boy who wants to play with his fosters two dogs, but they are less playful so he's very respectful and stays out of their space. He's also very interested in dogs he sees on his walks but doesn't react aggressively.

Atticus came to APA! for medical help with a broken paw that hadn't healed correctly. He still limps, but it doesn't seem to cause any pain and he is a good leisurely walker. He can run and does a nice jog on his walks.

He is house-trained and does his business quickly outside. And he does very well in the house when his fosters are away from home.

Do you have room in your heart for this special boy? Come meet him. Offer him a cuddle and he'll run home with you! Check out his instagram! @adopt_atticus
