In the shelter’s words

**If you are interested in being considered for this dog, please be sure to complete an application directly on our website - not through a 3rd party service.** Atlas is a handsome 1-year-old Pitbull mix who is neutered, housebroken, crate trained, and ready to find the family he can call his own. He is said to be a Pitbull mix, but as always, we do not DNA test. Atlas is a happy, affectionate boy who truly loves everyone he meets. He does well with other dogs and enjoys having canine friends to play with. He already knows basic commands, and we are continuing to work with him on leash training and calm, slow-approach greetings. Atlas can get a little excited when meeting new people because he just wants everyone to know how happy he is to see them! Atlas was surrendered to a rural pound when he was around 7–8 months old after his family's circumstances changed. Despite that unexpected start, Atlas has remained a loving, playful, people-friendly boy who is eager to please and ready for his next chapter. His favorite things include walks, car rides, playing with other dogs, chasing and playing with his ball, and of course plenty of snuggles with his people. Atlas would do best with a loving, active family who will continue his training, keep him well socialized, and give him plenty of opportunities to learn, play, and be part of the family. With continued guidance and love, Atlas has everything he needs to keep growing into the very best boy he can be. Could Atlas be the happy, goofy, loving addition your family has been waiting for? Atlas' adoption fee is $400.00. This includes completed wellness, age appropriate vaccines, and completed spay.
