My name is Atticus!

Atticus hasn’t had an easy life, which is why his perpetually energetic, upbeat, infectious and loving personality is so surprising.

Abandoned on the side of the road, starving, thin and locked in a kennel, he (not surprisingly) has some separation anxiety, but he gets better and better every day at regulating his own emotions and breaking down his fears. He is fantastic on a leash and loves adventures of all kinds, an extrovert who hasn’t met a dog/cat/human/kid he doesn’t LOVE. He’s a cuddler, and loves to be hugged and held and told what a very good boy he is, but can also be super chill and hang out with the people he loves.

An ideal home is an active one with the flexibility to help him conquer his lingering anxiety and separation issues, work from home, take your dog to work, or will have other pet siblings to keep him company. Atticus the terrier has gained his weight back, has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and had a little grooming (his haircut now is perfect for anyone who wants to help him find his most handsome hair style). Vets believe him to be around 2 years old, but he still has some puppy energy and loves to play. He’s a little self conscious of his low-key needy-ness, so let’s get him lots of shares to find him a forever home where he can be sure he’ll never be unloved again! Atticus should not be overlooked!
