Good With: Confident, calm dogs, he is a hard dog to match energies with. Patient Teenagers, that can actively participate in his training, may be okay. Dog savvy cats and 110% commitment to training if he is to live with cats. He is very determined/grabby in his play.
NO DOG PARKS.

Hi, I'm Atlas! I'm looking for my forever home, is that you?

You:

- Are a very German Shepherd experienced owner, who has worked with working line style GSD's.
- Are committed to and enjoy daily training and activities. You live the working dog lifestyle.
- Are confident, calm, and patient with your handling skills. No alpha crap wanted, thank you.
- Are a single person, or a small family that understands I am a one person dog, and will ensure everyone respects those boundaries. I would like to be put away for visitors, so a home without frequent guests is best.
- Understand I am a fearful dog, and will struggle to be comfortable around you at first. You will be willing to meet me many times before I can go home with you.
- You love the outdoors, and adventuring!

Me:

- I will only have eyes for you! I don't want or need other people in my life.
- I want to do something with you always! If you work long hours, we won't be a match, but a regular work day is fine. As long as you have the time and energy for me once you get home! A walk around the block is NOT enough.
- I want to play, and swim, and hike, and train! I have LOTS of energy.
- I enjoy select dogs, but I have a hard time with impulse control and overarousal. I would be fine as an only dog as I really just want my person!
- I love to use my mouth, as most GSD's do, but struggle with handler conflict/pressure. I'm working on it!
- I am very athletic, and would love a home that would teach me canine sport activities. We don't have to compete, I just want to have fun with you! (I am not a bite sport candidate).
- I want to play with everything, and enjoy eliciting squeals, so cats would be hard unless you are REALLY committed to training. I should NEVER be lose/unsupervised around them, or other small animals.
- I am goofy, vocal, and get really excited when I see my mom!
- Once I trust you, I am excellent for all handling, grooming, nails, the vet etc.
- I am great in my crate, and the car!
- I am very handsome!
- I am very affectionate with my person!
- I am pretty good with environmentals, and foster mom can take me everywhere!

I have been waiting a very long time to find my forever person, but a new year is here. I'm hoping that it's you! Please send an application so that we can chat 🐾
