My name is Atticus!

Hey guys, the name's Atticus! I'm a young guy well into my rebellious teenage years, and I'm still working on my manners, so I'm looking for a family that can give me the structure and guidance I need to thrive and be my best self! I've already got a head start, as I already know sit AND paw! And I'm sure to learn more in no time, because I'm super smart and motivated by both food and toys! So if you're willing to put in the work, you'll quickly see I'm the best boy around. My friends say it's "hysterical" to watch me run around with toys, and I'm not sure what that means but my toys are my most favoritest thing in the whole world. I love whipping them around, and I could self-entertain for hours! I'm also super affectionate and playful once I get to know you, so I make friends pretty quick. I would probably do best without any small animals in the home, and given my wild nature, I would succeed in a home with older kids. I'm not sure how I feel about other dogs yet, so we'd have to do a meet and greet to see if we have chemistry. But if you're looking for a young fixer-upper to show a lifetime of love, I'll be sure to give you a lifetime of laughter and snuggles in return. If that's what you're looking for, then come on down to the shelter to meet me!
