More about Atlas

 Atlas is an Australian Shepherd around 6 years old. This neutered male came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed, but he’s ready for a fresh start with the right person. He’s a high-energy, intelligent dog who thrives when he has structure, activity, and a job to do. He can be anxious in new situations, so he’ll need a patient, confident owner who understands the breed and can provide consistency and guidance.Because of his energy level and sensitivity, he’s best suited for someone with Australian Shepherd (or similar herding breed) experience. These dogs need consistency and stability, and things to keep their keen minds occupied to discourage destruction and boredom. If you would like to meet me, please visit our website and complete the pre-adoption application.  Once it has been processed then we can make a date to get together! All dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm tested (if over 2 years old), vaccinated, dewormed, flea and tick treated, microchipped and more before adoption. Our adoption policies include: Application, Vet Reference, Landlord approval & Criminal Background Check. We do not do same day adoptions. We request that you call for an appointment after your application has been approved to come and visit the dog of your choice. If you have a dog currently, you should bring him/her along to meet the new dog so we can see how everyone interacts.  Please visit our website for additional information.
