Atlantis was surrendered as a stray with limited history provided. He is a fearful but food-motivated dog who enjoys checking in for treats and walks at his own pace. Atlantis approaches new situations cautiously and prefers to engage on his own terms.
My Ideal Home
Atlantis would thrive in a calm, patient home with only adult humans. He needs adopters experienced with fearful dogs who will move slowly, allow him to set the pace, and use positive reinforcement and force-free training. A structured environment with slow introductions to new people, places, and experiences will help him build confidence.
Good with Kids?
No - Due to his fearfulness and anxiety, Atlantis should be in a home without children under 13.
Good with Other Pets?
Unknown - Atlantis's past with other dogs is not documented, and he is currently best as the only pet until he is more comfortable and confident.
Leash Manners
Atlantis walks with a loose and bouncy gait, though he may pant and seek exit when anxious. He can walk ahead but checks in for treats and responds best to slow, calm handling and positive reinforcement. He may show stress signals such as panting, pacing, and flushed face in novel situations.
Overall Health
Healthy overall - spayed/neutered, ambulatory, maintains healthy weight, recovered from mild underweight and greasy coat noted at intake.
Behavior Determination
Level 3 - Experienced Adopters. Atlantis needs adults who understand fearful and anxious dogs, can move at his pace, and provide mental stimulation and enrichment to manage anxiety.
Other Fun Facts
Atlantis enjoys puzzle toys, long walks, and treats. He prefers to approach people on his own terms and will relax once he feels safe. He is cautious but affectionate when he chooses to engage, and he benefits from slow, calm, and structured interactions.
