Atlas is a 6-year-old neutered male German Shepherd who is nothing short of extraordinary. Large, regal, and exquisitely handsome, he exemplifies everything the breed is known for—noble character, steady temperament, intelligence, and loyalty. He’s happy, affectionate, and has that classic “leaner” personality, always wanting to be close to his people.
Atlas is well-behaved on leash, carries himself with quiet confidence, and clearly comes from a background where he was loved and cared for. He has all the makings of a devoted companion and best friend. Even among seasoned German Shepherd rescuers, Atlas stands out—our team, with decades of experience, describes him as one of the very best Shepherds they’ve ever had the privilege to meet.
This incredible boy is available for adoption in the Greater Los Angeles area, where he’s waiting to bring joy, companionship, and unwavering devotion to the person lucky enough to call him theirs.

We ask you to begin by filling out an adoption application to express your interest in any of our animals. Once we receive the application and looked it over, we will contact you to answer any questions you may have about the pet and set up a meet and greet with the 4 legged friend you are interested in.
At that point, if you are interested in moving forward with the adoption, we will conduct a home check to make sure everything's good. We will ask you to sign an adoption agreement and ask for a donation for the adoption process.
Our adoption process is a couple of steps.

More about this rescue
The Jason Debus Heigl Foundation was founded by Nancy and Katherine Heigl to celebrate the memory of a wonderful son and brother. In 1986, Jason was killed in a car accident. He was only fifteen years old.
Throughout his brief lifetime Jason loved all animals, especially dogs and cats and monkeys. He lived his life extending compassion and kindness to all creatures great and small. This foundation is his legacy.
The mission of the JDHF is to eliminate the needless suffering inflicted on animals by human cruelty, indifference, and ignorance. Our primary focus is the greater Los Angeles area, for now.
In pursuit of our mission, the JDHF routinely funds:
Our internal rescue group, the Heigl Hounds of Hope.
Other qualified rescue groups, via Networking donations.
The Transport of LA shelter dogs to states with great demand.
Free Spay Neuter procedures for the pets of qualified caretakers.
Compassion Education programs.
And we thank you for your support.
