Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This beautiful boy is ATLAS. He is between 1 and a half and 2 years old and is an owner surrender to our pound. ATLAS is a great dog, but he lived with 2 small kids who were extremely boisterous and active. ATLAS would be happier with a calmer environment because the noise and activity made him nervous. When the kids screamed and ran around, he would sometimes snap so although his mom was very upset about surrendering him, she felt it was the best thing for him and her 2 legged kids. ATLAS is a big baby and loves attention. When Chewy or Amazon boxes arrived, he would get very excited because he knew those boxes were for him! He is crate trained and housebroken, but when he gets excited, he might forget. ATLAS likes to run so an active person or a fenced in yard would be great, but not required. He has not met a cat and gets along with most other dogs.
