My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Atlas exemplifies resilience, unconditional love, and gratitude. This boy endured some of the worst , unimaginable pain, suffering, starvation, and abuse , a dog could experience. After being evidently used as a bait dog, Atlas's lifeless and ripped up body appeared at the shelter, clinging onto life. The hope and will to survive in his eyes were seen immediately, along with his naturally sweet demeanor as he instantly met every vet and staff with tail wagging, kisses, and such trust. He knew he was finally free and safe from a life of horror. He is now recovered, and as his wounds continue to heal, his personality and confidence grows bigger each day. He is a quick learner and eager to please so although he is still working on proper manners , he has shown us that with continued patience, routine, structure and consistency he will be the best boy! He has a bright, very energetic and puppy playful demeanor , where he clearly thinks he's still "chihuahua size" and that he can greet everyone with big open arms and slobbery kisses. He has done well with dogs, but as always slow and proper introductions are always required. He is house and crate trained. He will require someone experienced with the breed to ensure you provide him the exercise and adventure he deserves.
