Story
I bought Atlas spontaneously in Georgia with his brother Zeus. They are both Dutch Shepard, Belgian malinois mix. They are very playful and loving. Both are potty trained and crate trained. Atlas is food driven and very cuddly. He was born October 2023 and is up to date on shots. I will include collars and leashes along with training E collar and a large kennel. Atlas is great on leash and would be great for an active person. Feel free to reach out with any questions. If new home is good for him fee will be waved.

Story
My name is Bryce Jenkins and I am looking to re-home a recent acquired animal. About 1-1/2 months ago my sister that lives in Monterey, CA contacted me asking me if I myself, or someone I knew was looking for a dog. She informed there was a dog at a shelter that was going to be euthanized within 48 hours. She is a very friendly 2 year old female German Shepherd. I took her in mostly in the fact to save her life and to see if she may be a good fit for myself, or to possibly re-home her, as I couldn’t bear the fact of her being put down. I have been living with her for about ~5 weeks and she is very sweet and friendly dog. Gets along well with other dogs and children. Although it ended up being more of an undertaking than I can handle. I just started a new job and am away from home from 12-13 hours per day and sometimes through the weekend. She has a lot of energy and very much looks for attention. Im afraid that with my busy schedule I just can’t provide the time she needs.
