Here's what the humans have to say about me:
NOTE: All our Cupids are fostered in private homes. An approved application MUST be on file before proceeding with meet-and-greet. The online application can be found at http://www.caninecupids.org/adopt-.html.
Meet Atticus, aka Mr. Bean!
With Atticus in your life you will never lack for a companion and unconditional love. He is a sweet, sensitive boy who is so eager to please. He loves other dogs, big or small. He loves everyone he meets and we are working on controlling his excitement when meeting new people, so a family without small kids or the elderly might be best for him, or his forever family should be able to monitor and help temper his excitement.
Atticus isn't a fan of crates, but can be confined to a room or area when his foster mom is gone without any issues. He would much rather be by your side, though! Sitting on your feet while working on the computer...sitting on you while watching TV, snuggled up next to you while you sleep. If your family is active, Atticus is up for that, too, or would love to have a fenced-in yard to romp around in.
With Atticus, you will never know the word lonely!
Atticus is about a year-and-a-half old Our best guess is that he's mixed with Labrador Retriever, but where he gets the lanky legs from we don't know!
Atticus' adoption fee is $250, and he is being fostered in southeastern Wisconsin. Because all our Cupids are fostered in private homes, an approved application MUST be on file before proceeding with a meet-and-greet. The online application can be found at http://www.caninecupids.org/adopt-.html.

Our Thoughts on Visual Breed Identification
Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable. For most of our adoptable Cupids we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We think it’s most important is to get to know each dog as an individual! We then do our best to describe each of our adoptable Cupids based on their personalities in order to determine whether they’ll make good companions based on prospective adopters’ lifestyles. Dog behavior is not exclusive to breed — it’s a complex mix of nature and nurture.
