My story

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


I got Atlas when he was 2 months old from an experienced breeder, he is currently almost 4 with his birthday coming up on January 25. He has been trained to be my psychiatric service dog for my previous disability. He went through many different obedience training sessions and knows all of the basic commands such as sit, down, heel, quiet, and place/stay. He also is extremely smart and knows several psychiatric service tasks such as pressure therapy etc. A few words that describe him would be lovable, goofy, expressive, and extremely intelligent. In a new home it is crucial to have an owner who understands his energy needs and behavioral issues with dogs. His new home thus would need to be very patient and calm, and be willing to invest in his training and behavioral issues, also being mindful of his intelligence as he can be very clever and actually knows how to open doors.
