Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Now introducing Atlas, a sweet and energetic boy who we guess to be about 1-2 years old. We're not entirely sure what breed he is but we've placed our bets on him being a lab/Anatolian shepherd mix.
Atlas somehow found himself at a shelter in Arkansas where he sat, overlooked for more than 6 months. His foster mom told the rescue team, Hauling Tails, to bring her the dog that had been at the shelter the longest, and so Atlas found himself on his way to the Quad Cities. Now, foster mom has spent a few days getting to know him and she's completely baffled as to why no one has scooped this boy up.
Atlas is incredibly smart and is highly food motivated, meaning he could be well trained with a little work. He absolutely loves to play with both the other foster puppy in the house and all his toys. A good game of fetch makes this boy very happy. He is full of energy but once he's all tuckered out he is happy to sit right next to you on the couch for a snooze.
Currently Atlas weighs in at about 50 pounds, but needs to gain a little more before he's at a healthy weight. He sometimes doesn't realize how big he is and will jump occasionally when he's excited and can also be a bit rambunctious, so we are not recommending homes with small children at this time. He is good with other dogs and is slightly timid around the resident cat but will bark at her if he gets up enough courage.
Atlas is kennel trained and potty trained. His adoption fee is $250 and he is up to date on his shots, microchipped and neutered. If you are interested in adding him to your family, please fill out an application here: https://form.jotform.com/73194734170154
