HISTORY: Sassy came from Kentucky to Maryland on 10/19. She was a tad underweight but has a great appetite and has been putting back on some weight. She was reported to be 2 years old at the shelter she was turned into. PERSONALITY: Sassy is a sweet Newfie who wants to be loved. She seeks snuggles and pets from her foster parents and wants to be near them. She enjoys romping around her yard and laying in the sunshine but also enjoys snoozing on the couch or on a dog bed. She has short spurts of playful energy followed by long naps. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: walking around the yard, laying in the grass, snoozing on the couch, following people around the house and the yard, snuggling, eating treats and meals, dreaming of her forever home. MEDICAL ISSUES: recovering from hook worm. She completed the first round of medication and will complete one more in a couple of weeks. She was spayed on 10/18/24. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: Sassy has been hot and cold with her foster brother. She can be temperamental around him and wants to assert her dominance. To be clear, there has been no aggression, but she has been very dominant around him. She would be best in a home with a submissive dog or no other dogs. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Again, Sassy is so, so sweet! She is always looking to be pet and loved on. She is low maintenance energy-wise and is fine just taking a stroll around the yard and plopping down or coming back inside.

While not much is known about his past, he is well-socialized with both people and other animals and is very good-natured. He is housebroken and has excellent house manners (although he is very food motivated and currently thinks all food should be fair game.) PERSONALITY: This big boy is all about the love - and the relaxing! Everyone who has met Atlas has fallen in love with him. He is gentle, affectionate, low key and just a great companion. Atlas is a Velcro dog and being with his people is what he lives for! This being said, he does do fine when left alone for several hours at a time when his foster parents go out for an evening. (Foster mom works from home, so he is rarely without a human nearby.) He would definitely enjoy a sociable canine companion, especially if his people are often out of the house. Given his sweet, friendly nature, Atlas would also be a great “shop dog” and would love to spend his day visiting with customers and hanging out with his people. Atlas is VERY food motivated, but has not shown any food aggression and shares nicely with others. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Eating, napping, and cuddling top the list for this guy. Atlas has not shown much interest in toys but has enjoyed meeting and playing with other dogs. This is a calm, relaxed boy who gets along with everyone he meets, including the dreaded Sacks of Meow. Atlas rides well, but currently is not too keen on actually getting into the car. This is most likely due to the fact that his three most recent car rides have been to his new foster home (1), the groomers for a bath (2), and the vet (3), so once he gets accustomed to going to fun places (i.e. places where they give you snacks and pets), his enthusiasm should increase dramatically. Being a Newfie, it is suspected that he would love trips to the lake or beach. MEDICAL ISSUES: Atlas does currently have some skin issues (hot spots) which should be easily controlled. (This is a suspected flea or seasonal allergy, and he is currently taking a prescription med as well as Benadryl for relief. He will need to be on flea preventative year round.) He will require regular grooming to keep his coat and skin in tiptop shape. His ears will also require regular cleaning, which is standard for this breed. During his most recent medical evaluation, it was noted that he has a slight neurologic deficit in his right hind leg which can cause his foot to drag slightly. This certainly does not slow him down and is usually not noticeable. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: Atlas is a very low-key dog who just wants to hang out with his people and a canine friend. He has quickly become attached to his foster family and is happiest when he is with his people. While he has loved everyone he has met on his ambles around the neighborhood, a home with sturdy children over the age of 8 or 9 and few breakable objects d’art would be best given his size. He has really seemed to enjoy the children he has met, mostly because they will get down on the floor and cuddle or – even better – rub his belly. Atlas is a bit of a “bull in a china shop” as he doesn’t seem to realize his own size and will happily plow through furniture to get to that sweet spot on the doggy bed, so a home with wiggle room will make everyone happy. And while he has no issues with going up & down a few steps, he shows no interest in climbing the stairs to the second floor. If you are adamant about a spotless home, Atlas is probably not your boy as he does shed a bit and there is some drool involved. Not much – mostly after eating or drinking – but enough that his foster parents keep a towel handy at all times. He would definitely benefit from some training just to brush up on some basics for his own safety and your sanity. A positive reinforcement training program with lots of treats would be fun for Atlas, as well as a great bonding opportunity for his new family. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Be prepared to wow his foster mama – she’s not going to let this boy go to just anyone!
