My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

This bouncy trouncy flouncy pouncy 18 month old boy is still brimming with puppy energy! The best home for Atlas will have a large confident younger dog who can play hard and give as good as he/she gets. Atlas also wants a teen-to-adult "people pack" to hang with and from whom he can demand the required number of back scritches and belly rubs needed to support his best life. He is a fan of hanging out with his peeps (and searching for any dropped popcorn) during Netflix binge watching sessions.

Atlas had a rough start and still needs significant leash skills development. He also can have a reactive / fear response to unknown people and situations that can look like aggression. It will be important for potential adopters to see this behavior in his foster home before committing.

Atlas will bounce after smaller animals if they run. There are two chill kitties in his doggy foster home who can manage his energy and one which cannot, so high energy dog saavy cats only, if any.

He is an excavation expert--if you need a culvert put in, or drainage added around your house--he's your guy! Atlas encourages good household habits--no more leaving dishes for "later" in the sink or food out on the buffet with this fellow around.

Atlas cannot abide a crate, but he sleeps through the night and stays on his own bed in the bedroom he currently shares with his foster moms and pyr sister. Should you need supervision as you move throughout your day, this guy will happily watch every step you make--mostly to be sure he's not missing any cheese tax--but also so he knows you're safe in the shower.  Atlas is being fostered in South Oregon and can be adopted within WA-OR.
