Critter Details
Atlas is as sweet as they come—a gentle, loving senior who has spent 10 wonderful years being someone’s loyal companion. After living in the same home his entire life, the transition to shelter life has been a big one for him. It’s clear he was deeply loved, and we want nothing more than to see him feel that same comfort and devotion again in his new home. Atlas is the definition of a cuddle bug. His favorite place in the world? Right next to you. He’s incredibly loyal and happiest when he’s close to his people, soaking up every bit of love he can get. This well-rounded gentleman has done beautifully with all kinds of animals—dogs, cats, even livestock! His gentle nature and friendly personality make him an easy companion, though slow and thoughtful introductions are always best. Atlas is also impressively smart. He knows a long list of cues including “sit,” “stay,” “down,” “come,” “leave it,” “drop,” “heel,” “spin,” “roll over,” and “fetch.” And if you’re looking for a showstopper—his “bang bang” (play dead) trick is a crowd favorite! He’s potty trained, crate trained, and walks nicely on a leash… though his hound nose may occasionally lead the way on an adventure or two. Atlas truly enjoys the simple joys in life—soft places to rest, time with his people, and a little fun sprinkled in between. With his kind eyes and happy spirit, he’s impossible not to fall in love with. Atlas has spent his whole life being someone’s best friend. Now he’s just waiting for the chance to be yours!
