Meet Atlas! Breed: German Shepherd Dog Estimated DOB: 02/01/2025 Sex: Male (neutered) Weight: 60-65 lbs Currently up to date on all age appropriate vaccinationsThings To Know about Atlas: Rescued from Mississippi after being hit by a car and left in his owner's yard for weeks without medical intervention – rescue advocated to secure his surrender so he could finally receive the care he deserved Underwent bilateral FHO surgery (Femoral Head Ostectomy) on both hips to give him a pain-free, comfortable future and is recovering well – just the best boy! Breed experience required to adopt Atlas Social butterfly who bonds immediately with people of all ages and sizes The biggest baby ever and hilariously over dramatic – super needy but in the most entertaining way (he'll literally paw at you to put your phone down and pet him!) Sweet, resilient boy who has blossomed in foster care and is learning to feel safe in a home again Medium energy level – gets bored easily but will also happily cuddle on the couch for hours Enjoys chewing on bones Walks beautifully on leash without pulling Rides great in the car Very food motivated and a great eater Housebroken! Sits by the door to let you know when he needs to go out Crate trained but will cry at first before settling Loves other dogs and has played nicely with them Cat friendly! Has learned boundaries and can peacefully coexist with cats Can be vocal and would do best in a single family home (not suited for an apartment or townhome) Looking for a loving and committed forever home to provide him with the care and love he deservesLearn more and apply to adopt at TLCrescuePA.org/adoptInterested in fostering?
