My story

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

Sitter needed: 11/23/24 - 12/03/24

Meet Atlas, a playful little bundle of joy! Atlas loves spending time around other dog friends, especially playing with his foster brother at home. When he goes on walks he might get a little over excited and bark, but does great when being redirected with treats! In the little exposure he has had being around children, he was super calm and relaxed and was very sweet with them. Atlas does great when his humans are away and loves sleeping in his crate at night. He has been house trained and does an excellent job at indicating when he needs to go to the bathroom. Unfortunately, Atlas does live with chronic kidney failure, but he doesn't let that impede on his happy way of life! He loves zooming around with his new chew toys and giving kisses, and makes a great snuggle buddy! Come on by to learn more about Atlas!
